She must still be upset. I promise she’ll turn almost faded white. Like blue hippo, he darkens and faded multiple times a minute, his bully color is all dark blue, if I see it, more nori lol

I don't know qlot about barnacles. Even though if I go walk outside and down in the canal I got plenty.
But I've heard there kinda hard to keep.
I would be worried that they would spread and cover everything.

There in little fox’s tank! We got them in Buffalo back in the eighties when you could by coral “shells “. I gathered up from around the house and am trying Rock Enhancer to try and “seed” new dry sand and rock for 125GL from 100GT.
Got them them on L and R of Living Room, 20 G in the middle, trying to get the transfer by Christmas or no tree

Did you see my Sailfin “light” pics. After she calmed down and had her frozen foods. I think they look very similar. They also have the same body line indentation!
Yours looks a bit bigger, longer bodied. When they get bigger, they are more like Naso’s elongated body, according to dive videos on YouTube. Made feel guilty she’s not out there. Have you ever used fresh sea water from the canal? Works for PaulB. North Texas is made of sea shells and limestone, every rain we can collect from the yard, but we have no sea close now.
I’ve never put fossils in the tank!

How big is yours?
And I wish I could use the canal water.
But ut would probobly be too much work to filter and clean it.
I've had the idea for a while to use the sea water as new water and just not have a sump or filter anything.

Also here is a pic of mine with his fins almost fully extended.
The other one with the blue backround is a while ago when he was at the lfs.

Oh, beautiful, I should measure, maybe 5.5 inches? Blue Hippo just had a little growth spurt, a tiny bit bigger now, must be the mysis I added to their menu lol. That’s caused a ruckus between them ‘cause Sailfin Sally was the boss. That’s caused my Formality MILD tempered Yellow Tang to attack Sally. FYI, my former brother-in-law lives on the Florida coast and would only use fresh seawater once a week and scuba stuff for his tank! He liked the crabs and shrimp! I personally don’t

Mine is about 4 ish inches.

Sadly here the water isn't as clean.
I might try to do a cleaning experiment.
