I figured it has been a while so I'd add some pics of my fishies.

The only Flame Wrasse I have left. He eats out of my hand and won't stop checking out the camera to get a good picture!

This is the best looking Tang I have had! It has peach in its fins. The contrast makes him our favorite!

Saying Hi

Here are a couple pictures I got of corals when I was getting the fish pictures -

BGM or something- (I'd have to flip it over to check what I wrote on the frag disc)

PPE

IMG_0193.jpg



Gold Dust Soprano style - They've been neglected in the shade and in a corner. I just moved them up into some light today

IMG_0166.jpg



Los Clementines/Florida Gators - I thought I lost this when the heater broke. I found it today on a frag plug that fell off my rack! Woohoo - from the sound of it, I'm the only one that has one that survived from when they came in. It'll be nice to see how it looks in a month or two.
(Bad picture since it is partially shaded - I don't want to shock it)
I just noticed there is a 2nd polyp on the right side

I HATE looking at corals online sometimes!!!

Merry Xmas to me though - I have been looking for a NICE Scoly -

This one I call Bleeding Apple Sunrise
Its awesome how it is both a bleeding apple and another scoly. First one I have ever seen like it.

Yeah, I debated on it all morning (didn't want to part with the $$) but in the end its uniqueness won out. :) I'm stoked. I've seen hundreds of them, and very few have got my attention. This one I couldn't resist :xd:

My supermale Labouti died ~ 10 days after I put it in the tank. I figure it was cyanide caught. It was eating like a pig and did good in QT. So that sucks.
I also lost my male Flame wrasse to works or something. It was eating like a pig and got as thin as paper. I couldn't believe it could still swim and be that thin.

Its a bumber loosing fish!!! From now on I will probably buy my fish from one source that I have had good luck with. It won't cure all the issues, but it might alleviate some of the losses.

The Lineatus's are doing great, same with the other wrasses.

if I saw that and decent priced, I'd probably pulled the trigger.... definitely a sweet one... pls post a pic when you have it in your tank... :)

bummer about the Laboutei... :( I'm glad the Lineatus are doing well... :)

Do you have a picture of the Turple Terrors? I have one that I saved a while back and they're the same thing - at least that is what it is saved as. (And the guy I got them from said the guy he got them from called them Turple Terrors - from Ben :)
