One of these crabs hangs out on an overflow, this one on the capret.

Then I used a reference image with custom white balance to remove all of the blue coloring, not sure if I really like it.

Man that's one awesome fish!!!

Thanks he sure is! I am very worried about him however, been acting strange and hiding all the time in his pvc pipe since adding cupramine into the water. Leaning to the side a little, darting, and scratching on the bottom of the tank. Was out swimming around but now hiding with the treatment. I have only reached about .25 on the level as well.
 
My favorite resident, also the most difficult to feed as he only eats large pellets and very unagressive when it comes to feeding. I have to keep everyone else busy otherwise they would eat it all before he gets any. Pretty much feed when my sunset is nearly done or sunrise is just starting so the other fish cant see as good.

I have a feeling Tang Destroyer is going to give me trouble with my achilles tangs, but its worth it. If I have to pull him I will.

Looking to get the Canon 100mm IS Macro lens so I can get closer. This Tamron 60mm Macro I have now just wont get quite close enough as it will not 100% focus when I get close to the glass.
 
Had a bit of a challenge with this guy. Couldnt get him to eat until Wednesday, five days later. Had no energy and sat and hid all day long when I started treating with cupramine. A couple 25% water changes and numerous foods, he finally started to snap out of it.


And yesterday, the next day, big improvement

 
men thats too bad! sorry for that lost!
it died in the QT ?

Yes it did. Got him eating and coming out of hiding 24x7 and then dies a couple days later when things were looking so good! Never a good thing when a fish just hides non-stop, especially a Tang which is supposed to be very active.

But on another note, regualr Achilles and Moorish Idol have been doing perfecto! They will be going into their new home at the end of the week!

To bad about the hybrid, what do you think did him in ?
I don't know. Could be anything I suppose. He showed up in a bag of ~1.012 salinity water to start. So that was a negative against him. Was gray instead of a dark black coloring too. But the picture before he was sent out to me was black.
