Solomon Percula

is that large carpet from the aquarium in culver city?

It sure is

 

[CoralsAddiction]

I doubt I'll be buying more. If my onyx makes it I will pair it up with the black true perc. If not then I will leave my current pair intact.

Damn, I gotta get down there - they got all the good ones and we got the scraps

 

[ItsTheNano]

It sure is

do you keep all your clowns together?

 

[ThRoewer]

[ThRoewer]

[ItsTheNano]

SoCal is definitely getting flooded with Solomon Clowns.

Hey Corals are those at Vivid?

 

[ThRoewer]

It's like my pair 3. And they also seem to have paired up.
The males of pairs 1 & 4 still have to sleep outside the pot.
Pair 2 seem to have paired up too but that is less of a surprise because the female is actually a sexually mature female. Those will accept a new male quickly.

yeah i have been waiting for these type of clowns for over a year i might grab another pair myself. mine were guaranteed wild caught paired & even when they were in seperate bags they tried to comfort each other & stayed close lol

 

[ItsTheNano]

I am leaning towards a H. Crispa.

arent those hard to kkeep?

I have had one. It's pictured in one of the photos I posted above. It was fairly hardy and an aggressive eater of mysis shrimp.

 

[daveM100]

They say they are hard but mine went from the store to the DT and has been in the same spot forever, never had a problem with him. For some reason I have good luck with nems, now fish are another thing, they just don't like me

At Baja Reef they had those kind of mated pairs too but they were much more expensive and not precisely the color forms I wanted, at least not both. I prefer to build my own pairs.

I'm gonna try another crispa as soon as my new tank is set up and I have again some free capacity. By my experience they are hardy if you can get one that isn't bleached completely.
