There is one coming in today that I had ordered, just to see it lol. Luckily, my LFS is cool like that, as it would sell if I did not get it.

I've never seen one other than internet pics. Very cool. You'll have trispilus, Crabby has pallidus, and I have melasmapomus... we've collected all 3 what do we win lol?

 

[Crabby48]

I already told you my thoughts. Hurry up and grab it

 

[Eagle_Steve]

Go for it! I skipped the chance to grab a trispilus unfortunately. what wrasses are in the 180 again?

Ohh lord. I will miss one.

Yellow banded possum
Leopard wrasse (male)
Kuiter
McCosker
Labouts
Carpenters
Trio of Moyeri (Accidental order mess up, but male and 2 females)
Cleaner
Orange Back Fairy
Kathrines
Gold Nugget
and a rare one in the hobby, but cannot remember the name or find the order sheet. It is small, awesome colored and elusive. (maybe a lunate) @crabby may remember, or I will have to dig back where I posted about it lol.

It is set for me already. Plane lands in 2 hours, so they will go get the order and I will meet them at the shop.

It is grabbed, just waiting on plane to land lol.

ALso, posting the list of fish, I had to go inside to look and make sure I was not full of BS. I made the list from fish order invoices texted to me and holy crap I have a lot lol.

I still want a china for the 180 and then I think that will be it.

This one will go in the nem tank, as I need some movement in there. May throw a few more easy ones in there also over time.

All of these are in the 180, with your tang gang?

A radiant was top of my list too so I would've done the same. Took me 7 yrs to get a radiant that would survive shipping as I could never find one locally.

Tang gang is now the below. Rest moved to 500

Purple
Yellow
Half Black Mimic
Dussumieri
Small hippo (will move to 500 once a little fatter)

Others
1x Blue Chromis
4x lyretail anthias (1 male and 3 females)
foxface (small guy to move to 500 once fatter)
mandarin pair
decorated goby
7 barnacle blennies
midas blenny
2x tomato clowns
Azure damsel
Springerii damsel
3x talbot damsels

Yes, there are a ton of fish lol. Most are smaller and they are all fat lol. Fighting low nutrients sucks.

I here radiants are hard to get alive. Guess it’s shipping. It work first try for me

I have tried 2 times and gave up after that. This was from wholesaler, so take that for what it is worth. Been thinking of getting one from @tsmaquatics or similar if one is available.

Also, there is one more I did not list. I cannot remember the name, but the yellow eyes it has are awesome.

Crap pic, but man this guy does not like a camera.

Most places use too small of a bag and box. TSM came thru for me. Those guys know how to pack delicate fish.

Ohh, there was a 10" hippo and a 12" des in there lol. At one point, before the wrasse add a 14" mingii in there lol.

Trick to this tank.

Behind the rocks is a garden of caulerpa prolifera and gracilliria hayi. This provides constant food for tangs and pod heaven for others to eat those pods.

Luckily caulerpa is in a makeshift planter, so most has been removed, since big fish are now in 500. Also, none has made it to rocks, so all good on that front lol.
