Well I'm in Placerville and I have a new 24 gal nano with sunpod metal halide lighting. I moved everything from my 6 gal and added a bunch of stuff, here are some photos of animals that I just collected on my last trip as well as some stuff I got from a HI collector. My next trip will be to HI, in the last year I have been two times and collected my own flame wrasse and bandit angel as well as a colony of potters (all in my tanks in FL so no photos as of now, but I'll post as soon as I go home with my camara)
Here is the female cherub I collected
here is the lightning wrasse, collected in the sand about 110 ft deep
I brought back a couple of red serpent stars, this one is small and they don't develope the deep red until they are older
this is a white claw hermit
I also collected a jawfish which has made his burrow in a perfect place to watch him
Here is my new butterfly and small potters
and finally the cherub and potters seem to just ignore each other, in my other tanks the males seem to fight a little, but nothing more then some nipped fins
Hope you enjoy these, I was just on a collecting trip for my in June, but my health has prevented me from doing much real travelling or diving.
