Interesting. I looked into the raw photo setting and found out that I do not have it on my iPhone 13, but iPhone pro models do have it.

From some quick reading, it seems iPhone users (at least with the recent-ish models) with non-pro models can still take raw photos, but you have to use a third party photo app like Lightroom. Might be worth a try.

UPGRADE!

Remember when my naoko decided to hunt through the back chamber of my nano…
Guess who else decided to do that today (I just had to fish her out of it and instead she jumped out and then slid into my hand and went in).
The only issue was the back chamber is almost 3x smaller because it’s sectioned off…
I love her but she’s a nightmare fish. All I did was try to putty my two colonies onto the rockwork.

I've seen many here using acclimation boxes. Is that to get them comfortable in the tank so that they don't jump right out? Aggression?

It's to manage aggression from new additions to an already established gang. With wrasses there is always a hierarchy, and using an acclimation box, helps judge how a new addition will fit in.

I was tempted by the twistii at my LFS but I think if I do get a second I want either Chrysocephalus, femininus, lennardi, or neoguinaicus. Or because of my budget and Hawaii ban neoguinaicus.

I would have got it if she is in good shape. They are beautiful, and it is hard to get them healthy for sure. That and the Majestic Angel for 100. This place is really inexpensive. The Majestic I saw Saturday was 180, and the Twistii I got was 60. These are cheap price in Texas. 100 for Majestic and 45 for Twistii. I would be in the dog house year-round if I live near this LFS.
I would build a dog house with a build in room for me.

I am very very lucky. Other than being a long drive they are the perfect LFS. They have 120 tanks like that one all full and yes their prices are all that good.

I’m gonna have to either have to go to Atlanta or have you pick up my fish and I’ll pay for the shipping :face-with-tears-of-joy:

Also if you’re wondering why she even had the chance to jump, it’s because I decided to move some corals over to my 4’ to make room for this guy on the rockwork.

My lid was off for maybe 2 minutes when I was dealing with the Colony and that 2 minutes I must’ve been not looking for maybe just a few seconds and then I heard a splash in the back chamber and there she was calmer than ever.

When are you going to move her to your bigger tank? If she's being jumpy like the naoko was it sounds like now is a good time :)

Honestly, it’ll likely be when I get hold of a Choats but for now knock on wood she’s only ever jumped once and it’s likely I startled her by moving colonies and coral drags around.
She also still hasn’t shown pacing signs yet so I’m not too worried but when she does start to pace I’ll pull the trigger :)

I’m hoping if I can get an upgrade to my 4’ tank I can do the swap then to limit risks of aggression from the Xenojulis and the Iridis/Jade (They’re both boisterous but neither are outright nasty).
