LFS Tour today

[BryanCaruso]

My brother is visiting from Florida and took him on a mini tour. Hit up the corner reef,gateway, seascape, pond market, and petco for the dogs. I got a few coral frags (no green ones) and he bought me a new fish

What kind of fish?

 

[BryanCaruso]

It was sold as a Christmas wrasse upon research after I got home I'm not sure if he is a Hawaiian Christmas wrasse or indo pacific. This one has 3 black dots at the top most of the ones online has two???? And after acclimating came right out and swam around no hiding in rocks or sand he/she is burrowed now. I also got a questionable coral but took chads advice he has never sold something to only too make a buck to me at least. I asked about a particular coral when he told me what it was I was oh no not gonipora. He said this one was Australian and so much easier. I also got one of the lightest blue ricordias I have ever seen. I blame that pic that nook posted for this purchase. I also got a rainbow acan very cool not very big but nice
