FarmerTy Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 It's the Rainbow Fish! (A children's book reference, you should get it. And get The Pout Pout Fish too. That's my favorite) Anyway, that's definitely an excellent addition Sent from Sissy's phone I'm pretty excited because it came full circle. An exquisite wrasse was my first wrasse I ever had and its nice to have another again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo662 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Oh so pretty!Thanks Jimbo, its nice to have a wrasse back in the tank again. Maybe one day I too will have another wrasse in my tank. Well don't let me come over and catch your fish again then... [emoji17] LOL...no...was referring to my naoko's wrasse that jump out of the frag tank less than 24 hrs before he was going to go in the new tank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 I'm sure he had the thought of me trying to net him and jumped because of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I was wondering how long you sat there waiting for the wrasse to swim in front of it and none of your other fish were there at the same time. You've got too much time on your hands! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpb Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 No kidding. I've got a ruby head fairy wrasse I have yet to get a single picture of because it never slows down enough to get anything beyond a grainy blur Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sascha D. Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) Haven't been able to play much with the tank lately because I've been swamped with work but I did finally get a Samsung Note7 replacement... Say hello to my new LG V20, my 3rd new phone in 2 months. [emoji19] I got to test out the camera tonight. I'm pretty happy with the results. How's that long polyp turbinaria? Have you seen that particular one grown out or is it an experiment? Edited November 3, 2016 by Sascha D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I chased him like a fool and snapped 50 pics. Most were just a blur but this one came out decent enough. The beauty of digital photography, take a million and keep the one.I was wondering how long you sat there waiting for the wrasse to swim in front of it and none of your other fish were there at the same time.

jolt Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Agreed, that is a beautiful colony! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sascha D. Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Yeah, that is a beautiful species. It looks different from other plating corals that I've seen. More like a deepwater acro/montipora hybrid! I'll keep it in mind if I ever get my tank in order. Thanks for sharing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 Well, saw a challenge and dived head first into it. I introduce you to acropora abrotanoides, aka the acro that will turn brown and die on you, and acropora spathulata, aka why did you just throw money away? They both have terrible survival rates but I thought it would be a fun challenge. I actually had an abrotainoides growing about 2 years back but lost it when I shuffled some acros around. Hopefully I'll get growth and color off this guy aa well. Abro Spath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where'd you find them? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk From the Dome. They just got a shipment in that day of acros. I'm pretty sure they are tracking me with GPS and just put new ones out when I am close in the area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 Well, that experiment ended quickly. In hindsite, I should have maybe gone with a less harsh dipping process for these sensitive acros. I dipped in Bayer for 20 mins, 2 hrs of potassium dip, and 2 hrs of interceptor before adding to tank. Let me introduce you to my new experiment, can I keep an abrotanoides alive...
