how's about this one

yeah looks like you are right... looks emaciated (not in my tank by the way!)

Hi folks. Continuing to populate the marine fish galleries on my website, I came across this pic I took back in 2008. I think I'd passed it off at the time as a sickly looking Pseudanthias sp. but having had a little look around I'm starting to wonder if it's something different... possibly a...

anyone?

ok, thanks. That's going to take some time! :hmm6: Will start with this one for now... a Plectranthias species I know... but which? (can anyone claiming to know with reasonable surity please give details... i.e an online source, key identifying features etc)

howdy folks. I've been capturing reef images for the last 20 years and I've been revamping my website to include species profiles of marine fish, invertebrates etc. I can identify most of them but there are a few that are proving very tricky! I'm just wondering what the best place to post them...

just had a read through this thread, albeit fairly quickly in places. Is there currently a general consensus on the best method to use to keep NPS corals of different kinds? Obviously some have different requirements to others. Can any of those involved provide updates on the development of...

suggest posting the 'offending' video to show the exact problem....

thanks :-) Thought I'd update this for future reference... yes sadly this fish died after a few days. It had been in my tank for several months along with a H. melanurus and seemed to be doing really well. Very sad :-(

here's a poser for you... anyone know why Tamarin wrasses are so named? I know there's a possible link with Tamarin Bay, Mauritius but does anyone know any more on it? Rueppell appears to have discovered one of the earlier species and coincidentally that species occurs in Mauritian waters...

looks like this may be an injury... wrasse not eating now and seems unable to close mouth.

no-one seen anything like this before?

over the last couple of weeks my biocellatus wrasse has been going through some changes. First of all its lips turned pale blue, and now it seems to be developing a 'hump' on its head. Is this maybe a 'nuchal hump'? I suppose the other possibility is some kind injury... this fish seems to have a...

here's another S3D shot... this time a pure fluorescence image also.

:-D love it!
