Miami‘s Clam and SPS Tank

I found the ruby red dragonett dead in the filter sock.

It went down the overflows.

At least I found some closure. I thought it jumped out.

Sorry about the loss

In other news, I added back the acropora frags today. I should now be flatworm free.

@Slocke

I finally added a yellow halichoeres wrasse today.

 

[Miami Reef]

I also added an aquamarinus wrasse, too. I’ve discovered a newfound love for wrasses.

I also added more anthias (Pink squareback) and I’m trying another ruby red. I got a male this time.

Which one?

That's not a Chrysus... What is it? Banana?

That is a chrysus. Bananas are usually multicolored but even when yellow they are fully yellow including tail.

 

[OrchidMiss]

I had one that was a perfect citizen.

I did, too. Until I'm pretty sure jello ate him.

You gave me a mini heart attac lol. My LFS had it marked as a yellow Coris (cringe; it’s halichoeres). I don’t like banana wrasses. I heard they are extremely mean.

Even without the eyespots?

 

[Slocke]

Even without the eyespots?

Eyespot means female. None mean it is a male

 

[Miami Reef]

Eyespot means female. None mean it is a male

Mine is a male? Awesome! I love knowing the sex of my fish!

Ok. It may be the lighting, I just didn't see male coloration on the face.

@Miami Reef nice Chrysus! I almost bought one the other day.

To give you an idea on size, those are micro feather duster tubes behind her.

I ended up with the Garnoti instead:

She hit the sand within 10 minutes and hasn't surfaced yet. It's only been 6 days.

Most Halichoeres are male or will be soon.

I've had a transitioning Melanurus in my tank for almost a year - still transitioning. I think my Leucoxanthus is starting to transition but she's still showing mostly female.
