Lost in the Wrasses! Rollercoaster of a Reef Build

[Petcrazyson]

Had to read it twice. Thought it said orgy red…

 

[crusso1993]

This is a little disturbing. And I don’t disturb easily.

 

[tbrown]

Not sure. One is an orangy red and the other I forgot

 

[Petcrazyson]

Lights are out. Nothing really fully opened. Anxious for tomorrow. Things looking healthy especially the Duncan skeleton.

 

[i cant think]

Crappy pic time. Corals are in!

Well then… what’s your final Display fish plan?
Zoa’s get destroyed by Regal angels and Tusks are nasty in a 4’ tank and will likely go for your other wrasse plans.

Well then… what’s your final Display fish plan?
Zoa’s get destroyed by Regal angels and Tusks are nasty in a 4’ tank and will likely go for your other wrasse plans.

The final display has been set. Regal’s love Zoas, but that’s a risk I’m willing to take. Not planning on getting a Tusk anymore because, well, I couldn’t let go of the Regal, and there’s an another fish that I would like that is real pretty, much rarer, and much much less expensive. The set plan:

Halichoeres iridis
Cirrhilabrus rhomboidalis
Cirrhilabrus lubbocki
Paracheilinus attenuatus
Cirrhilabrus johnsoni
Macropharyngodon negrosensis
Cirrhilabrus naokoae
Harlequin Tusk replacement which I know you will love much better : Xenojulis margaritaceus
And another Halichoeres, that I know you like as well, but I won’t say what it is, because it will be a surprise, a welcomed one by @SaltyT as well!

Non wrasse: Regal Angelfish, Magnificent Foxface, Pair of Clowns, and a Yasha Goby.

Bringing my final stocking list to 14.

So, you like? I like @Crabby48 what do you think of the list?

Oh absolutely! You can get me on board with that
Plus, almost everyone has a tusk now whereas so few people show off their Xenojulis anymore and they kind of just vanished from peoples tanks.

Hm… and for that Halichoeres, maybe it’s a Melasmopomus?

Question, since I got Pandoras Zoas, without meaning to get Pandoras Zoas, and I don’t have a spereate island as of now, you think it be a crazy idea if I put them on an Urchin @Slocke ?

The urchin would love them as a hat
I would love to get a 3D printed hat and just give one to all 3 of my urchins haha.

A chrysus!

I mean I guess lol my urchins love hats. Wouldn’t it potentially harm the Zoas? Since they could be in a dark place some time of the day.

No no no no no chrysus no…. Sorry buddy, no chrysus, one better one much

That looks like a great list!

you could try but I’d just leave the frag in the sand. Probably too much light variance on a hermit.

Corals looking good

Tomorrow I’ll be placing them on the rock work. Also as I was feeding the fish the Duncan started taking pieces as well!

That Duncan is stunning, I’ve found the perfect spot for a Duncan and I’m really jealous haha.

My diamond bar would have picked those up and thrown them in his cave by now! Looking good!

 

[Slocke]

Those might actually be pixie dust. Smaller, worth more, but still grows fast. I think less aggressive though.

 

[Tcook]

Was at the lfs today to see if anything new came in.

Is that a mel I see in the back?

Yes. That and a 6 line were the only wrasses there. Picked up my bright orange lobo colony.
