Brett, another very good guess. It's actually a juvi female lunatus

Hi Ken! How big is this guy now? last time I saw it I think it was barely over an inch

It has started to take off a bit and is now about the size of a tennis ball or so.

Very nice Kenny, however, the female lunatus was twice as expensive for me as a female Johnsoni....

I am loving mine and I am excited to see how yours transforms in your tank!

Anyone know what I am?

Really? I just thought the johnsoni was more expensive overall than the lunatus. She's tiny and I hope to be able to find a male or another female down the road.

Very nice Kenny! :thumbsup:

Thanks Mark. I might be up in your neck of the woods next Tuesday for a meeting

Beautiful ventralis. What temp are you keeping? How long have you had the fish?

Oohhhhh....Those are purdy fish!

I'm in project meetings all day Mon, Tues, and Wed. Since I moved to in the Investment office, my days are wee bit filled. Too bad.

 

[Dejavu]

Great looking fish Kenny!

 

[aquaph8]

ventralis are such amazing fish. I always worried that my temp was too high for them. I didn't guess lunate cause I thought they cost more than johnsoni. Either way I love all your fish, great selections. Your tank is way too pretty not to be in the house.

Aimed to please You should definitely try some. For me, they weren't as hard to keep as some of the other anthias I've tried.

Kenny,

Beautiful ventralis. What temp are you keeping? How long have you had the fish?

Thanks. The tank has been at 78 or so for the last 5-6 months since I wanted to get more growth out of my SPS. Before that, it was running around 75 or lower. I don't recall exactly but I think these fish have been in the tank at least 9 months if not longer.

Meeting shmeetings. Just say you have to go on a potty break :hammer:

Thanks Brian.

Hmm.......for some reason, I thought johnsonis cost more. I would've loved to have the tank in the house a few years ago but I've gotten used to it. Also, watery messes are easier to take care of in the garage
