He’s watching… waiting…

Two rabbits?

Technically a fox is not a rabbit. Knowing @i cant think well known poor opinion of tangs, he needs these fish to control algae.

No issues with the foxface fighting? I wanted to get another but read they don't do well with more than 1.

 

[Tcook]

Well, we all love Coris wrasses, and all love pencil wrasses, but how about a false coris that wants to be a pencil? Stumbled across this gorgeous female at one of the LFS I frequent today. Only the 2nd time I've seen one in person. Also grabbed a couple other butterflies to attempt since they were picking at brine and live blackworms.

My last one was great. Super peaceful. I unfortunately put it with fish that were too rough, and it came out less and less until it withered.

This one is going with the fairies, pencil, tiles, anthias, and butterflies.

It is a C. finifinmaa.
I went back to Petco today, and he was gone. Too bad I would have get him at 89.00

Lol, the one I went to tonight was pretty rough. Yellowtail blue damsels, a half-dead sixline Wrasse, a firefish, some chromis, a coral banded shrimp, and some hermits. Lots of cyano everywhere.

The Aquatics area in the Brighton Michigan Petco stands a world above all the other Petco stores within 100 miles in SE Michigan. The live animal manager at that store is an active member of our local reef group, and has a tank primarily consisting of fairy wrasses and blennies.

I find petco selling saltwater so weird. The ones near me literally just sell dry goods. They don’t even sell freshwater fish anymore.

Some of the other photos I got yesterday but never showed

As you can see, in a day I get 1 shot at photographing some of my cryptic species and if I mess it up I have to wait until the next day or add another chunk of algae. My Pink Streaks are arguably so much easier! They just sit and wait until they’re left alone.

We've got 5 or 6 that I visit regularly here in the Phoenix area. Only 3 of them have a decent saltwater selection and healthy fish most of the time.

The Petco here has great animals. Both salt and fresh water fish. It used to be the cheapest fishes but not anymore. Good healthy fish however.
