Hey Gabriel,

I'd love to see them in person, any chance I could pick up my reef roids from the grop buy in person so I can see them?

Ok, serious seller's remorse!

Will you sell them back to me? I'll give you $350 :lol:

Well Gabe, glad to see they made it to their new home alive and kickin'

I seriously got a lump in my throat when I saw these pics when I got home from work just now.
I loved those fish. So much personality and dare I say "intelligence" for a fish. I literally used to be able to "pet" the male.

Gabe, feed 'em torn up sheets of nori. They just love it for some reason. :lol: But they'll eat pretty much anything.

Give them a couple days and they will color up real nice. Their colors and their "crosshatching marks" are really intense. They are just a bit stressed from being in the LFS for a few days and the transport.

Here is a pic of the 270 they were in:

Here's what they'll look like once their settled in and less stressed:

Good luck and take good care of them! :beer:

gisho- before i start seriously shopping for one, i wanted to ask: do they poop a lot? that would be my one concern

Well, IMO, like most triggers, these guys do eat a lot and therefore produce a lot of waste. You need to have adequate biological and mechanical filtration. They also get big (~12-14" in the wild) and need room to swim. I wouldn't recommend them for anyone with a tank less than 250 gallons long-term.

I had a pair in my older reef before I tore it down.. sold my pair for $350, that was a great deal.... I have pics in my gallery... great pair!
