There is one coming in today that I had ordered, just to see it lol. Luckily, my LFS is cool like that, as it would sell if I did not get it.
I've never seen one other than internet pics. Very cool. You'll have trispilus, Crabby has pallidus, and I have melasmapomus... we've collected all 3 what do we win lol?

It is grabbed, just waiting on plane to land lol.

ALso, posting the list of fish, I had to go inside to look and make sure I was not full of BS. I made the list from fish order invoices texted to me and holy crap I have a lot lol.

I still want a china for the 180 and then I think that will be it.

This one will go in the nem tank, as I need some movement in there. May throw a few more easy ones in there also over time.

A radiant was top of my list too so I would've done the same. Took me 7 yrs to get a radiant that would survive shipping as I could never find one locally.

I here radiants are hard to get alive. Guess it’s shipping. It work first try for me
I have tried 2 times and gave up after that. This was from wholesaler, so take that for what it is worth. Been thinking of getting one from @tsmaquatics or similar if one is available.

Also, there is one more I did not list. I cannot remember the name, but the yellow eyes it has are awesome.

Crap pic, but man this guy does not like a camera.

Most places use too small of a bag and box. TSM came thru for me. Those guys know how to pack delicate fish.

Ohh, there was a 10" hippo and a 12" des in there lol. At one point, before the wrasse add a 14" mingii in there lol.

Trick to this tank.

Behind the rocks is a garden of caulerpa prolifera and gracilliria hayi. This provides constant food for tangs and pod heaven for others to eat those pods.

Luckily caulerpa is in a makeshift planter, so most has been removed, since big fish are now in 500. Also, none has made it to rocks, so all good on that front lol.
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
