Hello Everyone,

I just brought home my new showpiece fish for my 120 gallon LPS dominant reef. He was very active upon acclimation, breathing was even (a bit hard but not gasping or gilling) and was already eating. Once he was in the DT he immediately found a hole and is hiding.

Here are some pics to hold you over!

Thanks guys! The lights are out on the tank and he did not explore today...but hopefully he will be more active tomorrow.

I have been waiting to find a nice Rhomboid for over 4 months now. All the ones online were overpriced and provided no insurance with shipping. To make a long story short, I finally found a small/medium sized male semi locally and pulled the trigger. He was SO ****** in the bag that he was nearly all white, very little markings or purple showing. Once he was acclimated and in the acclimation box his color began to return and he began to mellow out.

I hope that he will continue to make a smooth acclimation to the tank and find his place quickly. Super Stoked!
