my newest reef addition (come see you wont be dissapointed)

[mattyice]

i just uploaded new pics of him, the colors on him are incredible and he doesnt even have the full colors yet (still undeveloped/not showing from stress), for those who dont know this is a golden back trigger (Xanthicthys caeruleolineatus) the rarest trigger in the trade and the smallest that i know of ever brought in at only 6-7" long

he is eating everything and i actually am hand feeding him already, he is taking silversides right from my hand, still a little shy but will come out and venture the tank once in a while, still a little scared of me but he really didnt have much cover at the LFS so he must of been freaking out, well here are the new pics

very cool fish! Please update the pics when his colors get better, because they look pretty awesome already.

Nice looking fish!!! I bet that was a pretty penny ( a Golden One )
Keep us posted on how it's doing.

nope he is actually doing perfectly fine, and yes coralfish very very rare, i guess that mine is the smallest speciman ever brought into the trade (6-7")

he is having a little ich though so i will have to figure out what im going to do with that

MMMM saute it in butter and drizzle some lemon over it or you could do my favorite... BEER BATTER and deep fried. That will surely cure the ich.
