Here are my new babies...ive waited 3 years to get these little guys. Well worth the wait. Big thanks to Ocean Gallery!

Here they are only a couple minutes after being introduced into the tank.

I just got mine right now too. They are so tiny! I'm not sure what I am going to feed them.. ha! We should have a progression check and see whose Onyx are doing the most progression.
Thanks Ocean Gallery

mine ate some frozen cyclops about 10 minutes into the tank.

I have mine in a beta breeder, ill keep them in there for a long time, as they would be whooped hard in the current tank.

Im setting up a 50 breeder with a carpet just for them real soon.

Who got the one with one stripe? That little guy has lot's of spunk! When I fed arcti-pods, he would continually wait until one of the bigger ones grabbed a pod then tear it out of his mouth.

I'm glad you guys liked them. I got 10 more today, unfortunately 1 was DOA. Rod tells me these will be the last ones that I get for a couple of months. I'll update the thread in my forum as to how many are still available.

well a breeder box was just not right for my clowns...i decided to whip together a small tank to hold them until their suite is ready. Not bad for a couple nights work.

Corals have been in there for about 5 minutes, they look a lot better now that they are all inflated.
