Centropyge Deborae

I've had mine since the first part of October, got it off DD. I put it directly in my display in an acclimation box. I had a C. Heraldi, that mix DID NOT work out, and I ended up removing the Heraldi. It didn't eat at first, but now eats anything I put in the tank, and so far doesn't seem to bother any corals. Mine's more deep blue, almost black, like Ambition's.

I'd like to try another Centropyge, but haven't been brave enough!
 
Kyle, may I ask at what price did you purchase the fish?
There were two of them in my LFS not too long ago, and the store owner called me if I would be interested, but I was not. Now I am... I did not know they were this rare - so to say...
I can't help but wonder how many C. nox owners there are who are actually deborae owners :spin2:
 
I just thought that I would post a picture of this fish. Such a cool mimic of C. deborae!

Rapidae, mine came with a $114 price tag including shipping. The fish was around $80, hence why spending the extra $50 from DD may have been worth it. We learn from our mistakes, and I'm going to do my best to buy from retailers that know the origin of the fish. Going to do this so I know whether or not there is a chance that cyanide was used to catch my fish.
 
Ok... If I remember right the price of that fish was 80€ here in my LFS, so it's like $104.
But the market is so small here, so everything is a bit more expensive...

I've been looking for "that one more" Centropyge, but can't figure out which one is it...
C. deborae would be an interesting addition ;)

Erythromycin is your friend.

Tell me about it!!! Red slime is kicking my *** right now. I have ChemiClean but it always kills off all my pods and causes a huge GHA bloom.

I deliberately run the water dirty to help the macroalgaes. Unfortunately, that also makes it ripe for red slime. I fear it's just going to get worse now because I think I killed one of my Vortech pumps. :/

Any other options?
