My Leucoxanthus comes right up to the glass. Camera comes out and he's in a cave somewhere, I touch the lid and he's under the sand immediately.
Same with my chrysus. Terrified of the sky faling.

Because @felda001 put the seed in my mind... If I can find a tiny one, I'm thinking Garnoti or Chrysus for the sump if I add sand. When it gets bigger I'll transfer to the DT....?

Will the sump be a lit refugium? I'd at least have a light schedule for the fish.

The viviens better have your name on them
Yep! She’s mine, just got to pass QT.

Money went down for the Choat’s and I decided to trial a Vivienae at the same time so it was always a case of who landed first and well, after a year and a half a Viviens actually landed!

Oh! And @JoJosReef Ill be joining you with a Splendens if it passes QT!
Have you noticed your pencil wrasses making clicking sounds with their mouth? Almost as loud as a pistol shrimp. I need to take video of mine. It's crazy how loud he is. He can also spit quite a distance.

My Foxface does that. I think it’s eating the oil layer that accumulates in one corner of my tank.

So what I’m hearing is they are mechanical pencils

Is that a baby rose-band?

Last fish left on my “bucket list.” So jealous.
Yep! I think it’s a female Roseafascia but I don’t know if it’s a male - I for once can’t remember what the females look like compared to younger males.

Love the males, wish I could keep them but they definitely want cooler water than I have.

How’s your Atavai doing?
