Well, the H. Rubricephalus arrived today. Looks great, and I while I was expecting it to dive right into the sand has been swimming around a bit. Lights are off to reduce any stress, but I will try and get some pictures in the next few days.
Looking very healthy! I'm extremely pleased.
Hey Dave, how is the rubricephalus doing?
Here's a pic my friend took of my Red-Head Wrasse - Male (Halichoeres rubricephalus). I've had him since early February of 2010.

I have a bunch of questions; lets start with how deep a sand bed should I plan for, and how much area should it be. I'm wanting to partition off a bed. Say I plan for two Halichoeres in a 4' 140, would I be safe planning a Bodianus? What about two a candy and a peppermint? How will Cirrhilabrus mix with them? Last for now, I'm really liking the spectrum foods, and liking more being off frozen; how will these wrasses fit into a once or twice feeding schedule, and will they take well to these pellets?[/QUOTE
I do have a bondias masudai with my multiple helichores in my 240, I have seen no problems whatsoever.
I will have to take a picture of my Christmas. She's so fast though. What are the best settings for taking pics of these speed racers?
Awesome Dave! Very nice fish, glad to hear he's doing so good. Is there a little damage to his tail, or is it just the camera angle?
In general, shoot with a shutter speed at least 1/125 second, or faster. Wait for them to slow down, while they're checking out a potential tasty snack or whatever might have them preoccupied is an opportune time to snap a pic![]()
very nice photos ! that bad boy certainly is fat and happy ~
