Used to be that eel would come out to eat and then sleep in its hole for 2 weeks. Now it’s out like half the time even when recently fed. Certainly far more active than any moray eel I’ve known. Just wish it was prettier

My experience with eels, once they know nothing will pick at them. They only return to den for actual sleep.

But, i never kept the huge species that weight over 1 lb....

I released the second coris as the first wasn’t being bullied. Time will tell if they continue to get along.

I need my own series with a lot of villains to name them after

Update: The two wrasse got along yesterday but not today. The smaller one is a bit beat up and underweight and is now in my peaceful tank. Probably not its permanent home but a good place for it to recover before I find another home for it.

I did a thing

I want to rename this wrasse: the galaxy wrasse!

This is my Coris gaimard, or that’s the boring scientific name presumably named after some self-important scientist. Its common name in the hobby is the red coris wrasse, though outside of the hobby, it is often called the African or yellowtail coris wrasse. Here is my old juvenile: Here is...

They sometimes go a bit whacky like with Halichoeres bivittatus!
