Any plans on trying a melanurus with your meleagrides?
I personally think male lineatus wins in terms of the yellow, black and white tamarins but we all know Chrysocephalus is number one no matter what

My LFS has a lineatus (I think, it may be a Melanurus) but I think if I get a second it has to be pretty different. I do think the tail stands out most on the meleagrides though.
You see the lineatus for like a second here:

Corals looking really healthy. Put the Zoas on the rocks, Duncan still on the sand bed until I figure where it’s going.

I also decided to move the rocks down, to prevent weight issues just in case, which is why now I need to figure out where exactly the Duncan is going because where it was going to be before isn’t ideal anymore.

I love that Zoa on the right and that’s also a great looking Duncan!

The orange oxide is my favourite zoa, I would love to grow one but I would end up with a rockscape covered in it in one tank and a tank that ends up eating it before it even hits the rock.

Is that an Oxide or a Bam Bam? They're both so similar to me.

MOAR coral Nice Acan lord fora steal!

In the photo it looks red surrounded by blue, and in WWC it was red surrounded by light green, but under in my tank under whiter light it looks Orange with blue outlining surrounded by purple ….? Interesting.

I'd put it in the tank... They prefer to be under water.

Straight up and left a couple inches from where it is. I wouldn't move it too far since it is happy there

 

[fishguy242]

This is about where I'd put it and see.

@tbrown3589 I put the Duncan where you told me to, but it was getting a little much flow. Moved to the tip of the rock on the other side, and it looks happy. It extended fully, more than it did on the sand bed, and it seems to be liking the low flow and medium light. Glued it on just now, and it looks good!
