Cool Fish on Diver's Den

Those are yellow Assessors they are very hardy awesome little fish. Similar to a gramma in size and behavior but they are actually closely related to a comet and can live decently long.

Yellow assesors. They have them in stock not through DD for $50 each

Hmmm... Not too familiar with this species but it says that they're territorial with their own kind in the LA description...? Why sell a trio?

Can't say either way since I only keep a single blue assessor but I can say they are not a very aggressive fish over all and I know that people on here do keep small groups of them.

People do the same with grammas. Just get them small and never separate them and they form a hierarchy from what I have read. Never tried it
Myself though
 
Yep. Started with 6 and slowly whittled down to 2 (so far). Tried it two separate times, bought them separately once, and then small and as a group the second time, same result both times.
 
Good Lord these are FUGLY

What's going on with DD shipping with high salinity recently? I ordered a flame angel a few days ago and it came it at 1.027sg. Today my tailspot blenny was delivered and it was 1.029sg!! I read they keep their fish tanks and ship at 1.025sg. I was glad to hear that since I keep my tank at 1.025sg too and I wouldn't have to acclimate long if at any. So much for that.

I calibrated my refractometer with solution just to make sure and it's fine. Other than evaporation what else would cause the salinity to jump so high if they really did use 1.025sg water?

I don't know how it would evaporate inside the bag, and it was shipped overnight. So I have no idea

It wouldn't evaporate in a bag, so I have no idea how it got that high either but somebody in their shipping department needs to pay better attention.

I've ordered several times from LA and it always came in at 1.018-1.019sg, which was spot on to them saying 1.018-1.020sg. I thought DD was more thorough than LA?
 
I have not ordered from them in a few months. However a friend of mine has a DD fish coming Tuesday and I will have him check his order.

Please do and report back if you wouldn't mine. I would be curious to know.

I got a fish from DD two weeks ago that was in spot on 1.025 water.

Weird how both of mine this week were so different than what it should've been. Both fish seem to be doing ok so I don't think it's an issue *knock on wood*.
 
an one know anything about the shrimp as in what does it eat and why the with reef safe with caution designation. Looks pretty cool but I know nothing about it.

It's a humpback prawn. It'll eat polyps off of SPS as well as any sessile invertebrates in your tank as far as I know... But it eats flatworms and will leave your fish alone, so... There's that :D
