AndrewT Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Picked this guy up today from RCA.... We were shopping for an angel and came across this guy. Jake said he was sold to him as a coral beauty. Definitely didnt look like any Ive seen so we grabbed him. Looks like a rusty coral beauty hybrid. Looks great in the tank. Hopefully he does well in the tank. He looks super healthy so now we wait.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 How much did you pay for the chromis? I'm looking to pick up 3 myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewT Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 I think they were 4 ea... there were still a handful left when we split... Ive always liked the chromis. Id like to do a school of anthias when we set our bigger tank up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnM Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 looks like a coral beauty. dont quote me on this but I believe the colors will change with age and enviroment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewT Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Yeah Ive had a couple before but none with this color pattern... they've always been more purple in the center and with less noticeable striping. None the less coral beauty or not I thought the colors looked great on this guy. He just looked so much different than the one next to him that we had to take it.

AndrewT Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 It stinks cause I just have a crappy camera phone... Ill see if I can get a better pic tomorrow with my fiancees phone. Could very well be a coral beauty maybe just a color morph... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Mlaw Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I saw this guy at RCA last night. Really odd looking in a good way. Definitely not a normal coral beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewT Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Hes still being so so with food... I tried a little bit of garlic, but hes not really paying any mind to the food. Any ideas that may help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faron Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Nice fish! I would call RCA and see what they were feeding him. Worth a shot...What are you trying to feed him now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewT Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 They were feeding him mysis when we were there. He wasnt eating much when he was there, but the fish looked so neat that we figured we'd get him home and give it a shot. Ive been feeding mysis w/ garlic and and pellets with garlic. Not much luck yet. I know with some of my wrases I would feed live brine and then eventually switch to frozen brine then mysis... anyone think that may work w/ this guy?
