Just got off the phone with the gentleman that's taking my cf pylei wrasse and as excited as I am, I have to admit I'm going to miss this little brat. 1 very active and curious fish, with a beautiful color to match. I know my other wrasses won't miss him and I may not as much if they start being out and about like they used to be. But he's the 1st wrasse that has helped feed an addiction.

So far I've got a few coral doing good. But I noticed something last night, not only do my peppermints breed like crazy but so do my snails evidently. Saw hundreds of little 1s under the blues last night.

Today is a sad day, woke up to find my beloved filefish "Spike" dead

What do you do when the day starts off bad? I tore down my quarantine tank and gave it a good scrubbing. Cleaned with some straight vinegar and resetup, hadn't done that in almost a year. Figured I'd have it pristine for its next guest.

Tough Phil. Had Spike been acting weird?

No sir, no signs, was always 1st to eat. Was just stiff as a board on the bottom this morning with a few hermits around, nothing visible or odd about appearance.

@reefwiser any idea what Paul keeps his salinty roughly? I forgot and am going to take my c.f. pylei back to him and grab the juvy mccoskers flasher if still there later this week.

1.025 I think txt him on Facebook that's what I do. [emoji3]

Not tank related but scored enough on my placement test to skip refresher courses, hvac school here I come.

C.f. pylei officially gone. Was able to use eggcrate to cut down the size and able to net

Current view, dismantled to catch the wrasse and kill aptasia:

Side note, my carpenter's flasher wrasse is out and about like he was before the pylei. Removing the pylei worked

Still doing well and eats mysis or minced LRS. Very outgoing with a good personality so far. Still weeks away from entering my DT.

I have a new way of feeding my eel, I pour some a the water I have his food in defrosting into my overflow when I get that eel feed me talk and within seconds he knows food is coming, easier to target feed and know if he's crying eel. Needless to say I've gotten good at schucking clams.
