Be careful with ‘later down the line’ if you leave it too long they won’t survive due to being thrown under too much stress.

Earliest possible will be right after Xmas. I'm on reefing probation for rest of 2023. Best chances for an earlier buy would be propagating and selling zoas!

Go for it, the geographicus is in my 3 favourite tamarins

I kinda think it’s boring lol:face-with-hand-over-mouth::face-in-clouds:

Dummy! How do you except to dig yourself into a place you already dug out :expressionless-face::rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

I think she’s hunting but she’s certainly responsible for my uneven sand bed

Yep hunting. She's trying to dig under that rock. Can it fall on her if she digs it out?

Good point. I will assess…..
Nah it’s lodged in there and can’t move.

Well it’s not as certain a response as I would have liked but boy is it tempting.

Get it saying deal is only for what fish you want and it’s the one in picture and not the description

Make sure all your rocks are secured. She going to be wiggling that little b utt under them all.

Like 5 years and a long long list of wrasse I have never seen this until now. I’m watching my tank and sand sleepers, fairy’s and flashers are pooping out what looks like and falls like sand. My sand is big but some get crushed and such. All wrasse dig under my rocks as they only have a few places they touch glass.
I can see sand getting stuck and loading one. It’s luck of Irish thing

Not too surprising as Parrot fish are also wrasse and they poop out sand……….


next time you go to a beach I dare you to figure out what is poop and what is sand ;)

You’ve never seen a good in person johnsoni ;)

There are a lot of good photos of Johnsoni online. I think the best photo/only good photo og a Geographicus may be the incorrectly labeled one that WWC put up. Assuming @i cant think is right.

Here’s a decent photo of a male, the males are gorgeous and look very similar to a male femininus but without much yellow.

I agree with minimal to no good photos of females though, this is the best one I’ve found so far.

A few new shots of my Melanurus and Red Velvet. The Black Leopard became a nems breakfast I’m pretty sure. It’s been removed.

Such a shame to hear about the black leopard, don’t be 100% sure though, remember these guys can hide for a while.

As for your other two they’re loving life! Look how fat they are :)
