my trip to greenwich aquaria

[Reef Junkie]

I picked one of those yellow spotted Anthias from Pets Warehouse on Long Island for $150.

I thought it was pricey, then I found out that I may never see these are kind of rare.

Great buy and the fish is healthy. Fantastic eater, but a bit shy.

I'll try to remember to post a picture of mine later.

those fish are great looking, I don't think you see them for sale to often because they live down around 200', collecting them is no easy task!

I would imagine that crab would eat whatever leftovers the urchin had much like a remora with a shark. Never found much info on them myself just what my supplier told me and my own observations. Was thinking they may forage near the urchin so they can dive into it should they feel threatened, but who knows lol.

have fun emily

I saw what I thought was a shrimp with markings like that crab has, it was really small tho, at a LFS near me. was with a banded shrimp. is that what you took home or the coral that was below that pic? Now I want it lol.

great pics, from the first few pics I thought you went to an aquarium, not a shop.

I have a peppermint shrimp. yuo probably saw a coral banded shrimp. the only coral i have is red mushrooms and one blue mushroom polyp
