Thanks for dropping in Ian. Have a great time on your Honeymoon. Go catch a peacock bass and snorkle a bit too

I remember seeing them at Yourreef before they were identified as a new species. Their pectoral fins are longer than most fairies abd the color contrast is just amazing. There are not many fish that look photoshopped when you are looing at them in the tank :eek1:

BTW, I lve your signature line "Beware of the banter"

Good info... And at that price, I don't see how you can go wrong... I'll look to pick one up sooner rather than later...

Yep They are just a cool little tool to add to the arsenal of reefkeeping. It also allows you to watch the fish for a couple days before releasing it to make sure it appears to be strong enough for battle.

Very nice!! I think its time for an upgrade. :bum:

How about I just let this tank fill out until the real estate market turns around a bit

The words of that signature line are words to live by. :rollface:

Oh, so you got it from YourReef? I may have to drop by again when I'm in Sacto this October. Going back to visit a few friends. Would it be possible to check out your tank in person while I'm there, Mark?

I picked up thise fish from another lfs here in Sac town. YR had a few in a bout 3 months ago as well.

Just shoot me a PM when we get closer to the date. I have seen you banter with Kenny enough to see what we can arrange

wow, that means that John must of sold out the 150 fish he brought back from LA since Friday when I was out there. That's great news as that means more quality livestock real soon; thanks for the heads up.

Mark, how do you get that orange out of the sherbet? Mine never seems to get the orange.

Sometimes I think I was sold the aspera.

I have no secrets Jay, I just put it on the bottom of the tank. I have rarely seen smaller frags that have great orage coloration. I have seen them more green with orange eyes though.
