Sailfin anthias

Here is a shot my my newly acquired Rabaulichthys suzukii. I had 2 but one was pretty much a goner right out of the bag hopefully have a few more coming in to make it a pair/trio. More pics once she settles.

Damn, you're a machine! (Intended as a compliment - aka 'green with envy' :lol

I hope you didn't pay too much for it because that doesn't look like a Sailfin, but an Ignitus. I have a male Ignitus that looks just like it....

Who me ?

Its actually a female dispar. It got mixed up with a buddie who had order a few dispar at the same time. So I'm assuming I got 1 sailfin and 1 dispar and same for him.. I actually just noticed as I've been keeping the tank dark and giving them space as there is also a pair of skunk tilefish in there and they are pretty shy.

The first one that passed was a sailfin. I should have snapped a pic of the body..

Here ya go. Guess the sailfin decided to photo bomb before it died. I still acclimated it in hopes it would live but it still passed. Here you can see I caught a pic of it swimming irregularly ... And also notice the pair of tilefish which are doing pretty good BTW.

I'm sorry to see that...the best of luck with the Tiles

Thanks, pretty sure my buddy has my other sailfin. Also tiles have started eating some mini mysis.
