Here's baby googly eyes.

And here a couple shots of the eightline flasher, he's growing very fast.

Here's a shot from when I first added him to the display, amazing how much they change in such little time

As always, please forgive my poor camera skills.

I am so glad that you bought this fish. I had it in the cart and walked away came back and it was gone. You saved me some $$$$. :)

Whats everybody think? How small is too small of a fish for a SPS reef with lot of flow. The earlei came in a 1 7/8" and Im not sure he would stand a chance in the reef at this point. How big should I let him get before I go for it?

that size is not to bad as long as he has no predators
ive got a 1" rainford goby thats doin just fine.they tend to find shelter in the rocks

He is bound to see some not so loving kisses upon intro. Im gonna leave him in QT for a while and see if I can let him grow out a bit. A long stay in the acclimation box is also gonna happen when I finally build up enough courage to go for it. Its gonna be so hard to let this guy go.

I think its finally safe to say I killed the cyano, My sand is finally white. Moving on to getting the rest of the bubble algae now. Its one thing after another.
