Oh I’m just saying that ryukyuensis is the yellow flanked. Cyanopleura is the blue flanked. Everything you say about them is right though!
Oh ok I got them mixed up though lol so not everything lol.

pH 8.3 Mag 1470, Calc 420 ish, Alk 9.4, Nitrates 15, Phospahtes 0.07, Salinity 1.025 (1.026?) Refractometer said it’s in the middle between the two.

I just picked one up myself when I got my tang gang the other day.. he has destroyed my entire sand bed! Not a single rock has sand under after 2 days haha! Dudes way cool thou! Hope he chills out soon thou.. I had to dig my torch out from a mound and a bunch of frags from his cave :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing: he wasn’t in the tank 15 min

Yea mine decided to burrow under a rock that was on the glass floor, so all he was going to do was make a sandstorm for no reason, which he did, so I adjusted a pvc pipe I have in there and he dug that out as well, sand storm over, until next morning I find every single rock with holes under them and cloudy water :rolleyes:

C'mon Lee... we've been doing this reefing thing how long and you think you're going to be able to keep anything not elevated off the sand bed? I want some of whatever you've been smoking! :winking-face-with-tongue:

No fish. There was a Cirrhilabrus Lubbocki there but it had already been reserved. Very happy with the trip!

Well if they are pandoras they need their own island. Pretty but they spread like wildfire.

You've got time but it might be worth getting a rock and putting it in the sand. I didn't and may regret it.
