My newest fish

[H@rry]

A couple of weeks ago a damsel that we've had for 6 1/2 years "came up missing". We looked on this event with mixed emotions, but at any rate it created a "vacancy". A week ago I got a Powder Brown Tang from Lucy's Lagoon. The resident Kole Tang chased him relentlessly and two days later it was dead. Then Saturday after the meeting at Will and Shannon's we dropped by Coral Reef Aquatics. John had a 2 Spot Hogfish and I'd never seen one before. I bought it at and took it home wondering if it would fare any better than the other new addition. It is only 1 3/8 inches long. We were pleasantly surprised that none of the other fish even seem to notice him. Could he be invisible to fish? Here's a pic. I took about 25 pics before I got one even halfway in focus without cutting off half the fish.

Nice fish Harry.
I believe I saw that CRA had another one yesterday.
According to Scott Michael, they get to a max of 3.9 inches and can be kept in as little as a 20g tank.

Congrats Harry! Very nice acquisition. I wonder if perhaps the others don't mess with him because he is peaceful in nature and not a threat to them?

I wonder if that's a new hat on your troll...
and I also wonder if the other fish don't pick on the wrasse 'cause they know that if they do he'll peck their eyes out!:crazy1:

Hello, Just wanted to let you know your new fish is a great jumper and can be territorial. Also, will eat shrimp. Great looking colors! Congrats!

Here's some tankmates. Gives me an excuse to test combining pictures.
