AWESOME Looking fish...Love the white one, Almost got one too, but she arrived with a missing fin.. nice photos too... I paid $105 for mine, and she is eating mysis shrimp soaked in garlic and vitamins.

Thanks, I was hoping someone could elaborate on that..I have a 20 gal. nano that the 2 clowns are moving to...leaving the angelfish and the tang..

Sure are as far as reef, but not fishes. Most literature says, they will eat any fish equal in size, some artciles even say double, but I don't really think they will finis that meal. He just climbs on and through my corals, don't eat or really harm them tho, and he perches right in my galaxia...

Roger that, HAHA, let the babies, rest, ill tune in tomorrow for the pics. ;)

SWEEET!!!LOL...Must be in season :cool: pics???

Thank you, I love them too!! I waited all of 8 years of diving to finally find my own, and of course, it was on a sponge blending right in! He finds the funniest places to sit, he sits right in the middle of my coral heads and uses them as cover...never kept a sponge, easy???

So I finally asked my LFS to pick on of these guys up for me, tired of only seeing them on my dive trips and really wanted the Warty as i've only seen one once in the wild. They came thru with a fantastic specimen. He is a baby at about 3/4" in length, but a beauty!! He is about this big...

Manhattan Aquarium is w/o a doubt fab., but what about Reef Encounter in Hackensack? Great prices on all marine livestock, including their selection of med. - lg. corals, but I have not seen many frags there. Nonetheless, if you have not checked them out yet, pass by on you way to the City. I...

Back In Busines!! New ballast just arrived, hooked her up - no longer have a situation.:D Halide going nice and strong. Going to run for 3 Hrs. then go back to normal cycle, tomorrow. I guess the one question that comes up now is, how comman an occuarnce is this? Kathy, I appreciate you taking...

Hi Kathy, Thanks for getting back to me! I was told the exact same thing buy another buddy RE: Storms Over the Ocean - Word for Word. I guess good reefers think alike! It was simply a normal dosing of Alk, according to my schedule (1 TSP of Reed Buffer added to a 37 gal. tank) normally raises it...

We have a situation here: Came home yest. and my halide was not on when it should have been. Checked all the timers, checked the ballast switch, even checked the breaker. Long story short, I think either my ballast went, or my igniter went. Fixture is Aqualight Pro 250W MH, with 2 x65W PC's...

One other (albeiet sadist) question: I am realy tempted to feel this guys sting. I have tried for weeks now, while researching this buy, to get quality material as to a description on how it feels. As an avid diver, I have seen, and come in contact with a few in Fiji and Indonesia, only to not...

Hey guys, been a while so I hope you and your tanks are all doing well! So I finally went back to trying my Achilles heel in this hobby!. Anemone's and a symbiotic relationship with a clown, or damsel (as a newbie, this desire ruined my tank, twice!) Now 5 years in, I think I might be ready to...

I too, have seen many while diving in Fiji and the Solomon Islands and had quite a few that would pose for my camera in Fiji. Never would I consider behavior in the wild as what I would see at home, but nonetheless, I would like to be able to get a few minutes a day with it in the open. I can...

Thank you. Forgot to originally mention (but just edited to say) The lighting difference is apparent. He was in weak CF's and I have a 250 w halide with 2 65w power compacts. Kept that MH off on day 1, and 1/2 cycle on day 2. Today, day 3 is his first full day experiencing it. Thinking the...
