We've had him awhile, I just haven't had the camera out much lately.

beautiful little guy! how big is he, looks like a baby. I've hd one for almost a year now, he was about 3.5" when i got him though, trying to get him nice and big :-)
 
Well renee since no one else is commenting on your little guy I hope you don't mind if I post some pics of mine. I've had a bad few months in the scorp world, first I went against my better judgement and took in a friends sailfin tang that was too big for his tank anymore and let him live in the venomous 220. He behaved for about a month then all of a sudden he went crazy picking on the scorps, before I could get him out he killed my frondosa and inimicus d. I've never thought such bad feelings toward a fish but I did the respectable thing and took him to the store instead of letting him become a pancake on my driveway. Then my mombassa stopped eating for no apperant reason and died shortly after. And the last incident was when the eggcrate top fell into the tank and landed right where my brasiliensis hung out, spooking him to jump out and die on the center brace, so needless to say I've been pretty bummed about losing all my pets. Sorry to vent so much but I know if anybody understands the pain of losing a fish that looks like a rock it is y'all. So I'm left with my diabolus, yellow fuzzy (in my smaller reef tank), and my orange toadfish. Anyways here are a few pics of my survivor

And here's one of the few times I've seen him flash, him and the mombassa were having some words ;-) it was at night and I just grabbed my cell to get a pic

Also Renee I think you can help me with this knowing how much you love pictures. I usually take pics with my iPhone and download them straight onto the photobucket app, then copy the img code and paste it in the posting. My question is how do I resize it to fit on the page correctly and what size should I make it? Thank you in advance
 
Looks good, Renee. I like how he blends in with the crushed coral substrate so well. I'd definitely not see the little bugger on step on him while on vacation...

I was just thinking WOW I wish my fish all sat still like that, it would make it so much easier to take a good picture.
 
That's actually NOT CC, recty...it's #3 aragonite. The fish is just a l'il feller...

Heh, I actually call all that type of substrate "crushed coral" just because that's what I always heard. I realize it's technically aragonite sand but in my head it's still crushed coral ;)
 
Gotcha thank you. I think I figured it out. I finally learned how to put an avatar after only a few years of being a member :-p
