Another trip to Salty Critter

[MJAnderson]

Report on my weekly run up to SC for those of you who like unusual fish.

Dan got in some stuff from ORA, including the black false percula clowns, some indigo dottybacks and something new to me...naked false perculas. I guess they are a type of misbar with no bars. Just orange with black border on the fins. Very cool looking. Almost like a goby.

He got a few 1.5-2" blue/purple clams as well, but I got the nicest one. =)

Here's the naked guy:

did he happen to have any copperbands or cleaner shrimp in? i called the other day and they were out of both.. neat clown never seen that kind before

 

[carman9941]

he got some cleaners in last night

 

[MJAnderson]

I'm not in the market for a copperband, so I don't really pay attention. Sorry.

 

[Jeepman3sk]

Jim I would be willing to take the drive up to SC with you if you want to. As long as they have cleaner crews cheap enough.

 

[Jim_Leyland]

i think their snails are like 2 bucks each unless you get more than 10 i think it goes down to a buck or so.. probably won't be going down there until next month sometime

Have you been up there lately? I plan on going this saturday. I was wondering if he had anything new.

 

[MJAnderson]

I try to limit my visits to every other week. Keeps me out of trouble. =)

[MJAnderson]

I got one of the blueberry gorgonians as well. Wow does that open up well. I had a rusty from a few months back and that is already growing buds.

 

[MJAnderson]

Two weeks later another run up and got one of these

Pretty fish. Got some more clams in, this time bigger. Blue maximas and Deresas. Oh and a $300 Angel fish (I think it was an angel). I passed.

When I read they require hair algae, I knew they were my kind of fish.

I was out there sat & picked up a small hammer coral frag. The one thing new i noticed is that they had a ton of small red linka starts.... (coral or linka... it was a tough decision)
