What? No FTS?!?!? :)

Love the goldflake by the way!!

How long til the gem makes it to your tank?
 
Tank is still somewhat new. So holding off for a little longer. Most likely around June or july. My LFS has 3 of them and they have been there for awhile so no worries about getting one.

FTS is coming.
 
Really? It sounds as those are rediculously rare....like only a couple have EVER been collected?
 
Yea, LRO has been very good to me and helped me out a ton!

Ps: just realized you have a goldflake as your pic. Love them.
 
Been looks good! Love your fish! How's that angel doing in your reef?

He was from my 120 that I tore down a couple years ago....planning a 300 build, and another one is at the top of my stock list!
 
All the angels are doing well. They all eat from my hand and so far have been very well behaved.
