Good call. Those are not Springeri.

Agree

Yeah we confirmed with his order sheet that he asked for/paid for the springeri but I just didn't feel it. Not one black speck on 6 fish. And I would hate to add a terror that I'll never catch.

Bummer but whaddya do

When it comes to spingeri damsels, this confuses the hades out of me.

Will the real Springeri damselfish please swim up? | Reef Builders | The Reef and Saltwater Aquarium Blog

Chrysiptera springeri is an amazing species of damselfish which we’ve long admired. Over the last couple of years we’ve seen at least two color forms of damselfish being offered up as C. springeri…

the blue fish is the true C. springeri and the other morph is in the process of getting a name of it’s own.

So, according to rb...the transperent tail fish is the true springer.
Blue body with pale tail.

Yep. Like I said, I'm pretty sure I have one of each unless the second is just a female. Either way, both of mine hang out together and get along well. They have very similar temperaments.

I just wonder if both eat pesty critters. I know melanuras are usually big pigs, i really don't want another wrasse. I'd like a couple of the springers. A spotted mandarin goby (wishful thinking) as they often adapt to pellets.

My Springeris, Mel, and Four Spot are all fatties. I never see pods in my tank, had flatworms for a day I think. All of them eat flakes and pellets and freeze dried and frozen. All of them eat Nori as well. I'd love a Ruby Dragonette eventually but I need to start breeding pods first.

I just dont know if the spotted goby would be left alone. Lfs has a mandarin. But, i dont think she eats prepared. They still didn't get my emerald crabs in.

@Mhamilton0911 beautiful tang!

Feeding mysis by chance?

Ruby Dragonette

Update on my jumper. Behavior back to normal, she greets me again. Breathing normal, back to eating, she did stop eating for a couple days . But she still looks funky. Her front half looks done shedding but her second half and tail look bad still. No one bothers her.

why is she frowning?

Resting b face

I should have the frag tank in place and filled today. Got the raised base and top on and painted and I let it dry overnight. Waiting for demons kids to wake up and I'll move it in the house. Decided to black on the new pieces and touch up the blue. I think blue will look better when I paint tentacles on it later. Or I'll paint it all black later. Brain can't decide.

 

[Mhamilton0911]

Won't be empty for long. Order placed!

Awesome, cant wait to see what you put in it.

 

[Mhamilton0911]

Well basic plan is to remove all frag racks from display and loose frags from my Evo and have a place to keep new incomers. So I plan to start adding to it once I get it circulating for a few hrs, make sure my heater gets up to temp. I'm hoping it's not undersized.

Then I ordered a torch, Duncan, 3pk of goni's, a yuma, and a green rock flower.

 

[Mhamilton0911]

Oh and I have this flat bottom rock that I want to try drilling for plugs everywhere. Because.

Very good pic. Looks like she's healing very well. The tail will take some time. Keep daily pictures of it to track healing progress. If it begins to degrade, treatment will be needed.

Adding selcon to food?

Gonis are my favorite

I have it on hand I can start more frequently.

I got a random 3pk so it's a true mystery of what I'll get. I like risks.
