[Trevenator]

No corals in my tank yet but I need a ID on this guy.
And is he reef safe.
Thanks

Also can i get a ID on these guys? They never slow down so they are kind of blurry.
Thanks

I cant find any Info or links on a bumblebee damsel. Any other ideas? They are small like the size of a dime

Thanks that looks like them. They are so tiny I had no clue that they could ever get so big.

And extremely aggressive

Looks like they will be returning to the Ocean then

I scooped them up yesterday with just the little fish net that i use for my tank.

There where literally thousands swimming around me as I was Snorkeling at a place close to my house down here in Puerto Vallarta.

Strange thing is they where all the same size. Tiny like the size of a dime or smaller.

OMG! I'm moving to mexico, I can just go scoop fish off the reef.

Yeah, definitely Sgt. Majors. Saw tons of them snorkeling in Mexico. Not sure how big your tank is, but I saw several butterflies- mostly copperbanded- and a few royal grammas by the coast. It seemed liked if you just kind of stayed by the rocks you would find a beautiful fish peek out at some point. The Sgt. Majors do get huge.

Geting your own fish is one of the great things about reefing down here

But lots of things suck
Prices are 2 to 3 times what they are in the states.
Like $1700 for a $499 chiller or $50 for a jar of $7 fish food

I was just in Mexico city and they wanted $90 for a tiny tiny sad look frog spawn single head.

Also trying to buy nice colored Zoas has been a pain so far.
