[Toddrtrex]

anyway gorgeous blue nox! the navy blue is beautiful

Good one.

Thanks, the longer I have had it, the better it looks -- at least to me.

How is it doing with the clams? I had looked at one of these and a golden dwarf, but I held up due to worrying about my clams.

I have a total of 4 clams in that tank, and it hasn't touched a one.

Back when I had a golden, it left all my clams alone (( different tank )) but, loved some LPS;

Can see the golden come in near the end,

That is such a sweet Angel. I don't think I've seen one that is fully blue like that. Will have to be on the lookout for one.

Darn near a year since I've updated this thread. Foster and Smith is calling it an C. deboraie.

I moved to a new townhouse back in June, and the fish made the move perfectly. It has really settled in, and is doing great. However, it has gotten a taste for zoas, which sucks, but a small tried off. I sold off the S. haddonis that it shared the tank with -- hated getting nervous whenever it swam near them. I have an LTA, which it doesn't think anything about.

About a month ago I added a Potter's -- I left the Potter's in an acclimation box for a week, so they could get used to each other. There was some chasing the first 2 days, and a minor torn fin on the Potter's, but that healed up quickly. Now, they treat each other like any other fish in the tank, even when the run into each other while chasing some food.

Anyways, some updated pictures -- it has completely retained its color, perhaps it has gotten better looking. Now, with the new place the sun hits the tank in the afternoons, and the light is great.

With the Potter's

Gorgeous fish. Love angels but am too nervous with my appreciation of corals.

Is it just me or do those zoanthids look a little anxious?

Not to go OT, but how's PT going?

They look very anxious -- though think they were happy I was taking pictures. Whenever the camera is out my blue spotted puffer hides, who is the real killer of zoas. I swear this angel learned that habit from him. Same with picking on the urchin, which it never touched until the puffer started.

Thanks for asking -- the PT is going okay -- slower than I had hoped, but given all the crap my back has been through.....
I do see the surgeon on Wednesday, so will see what he says about it.

That is great Luiz, thanks a lot. It is nice to know what it is going to be officially called.
