And this sweet thing at Tsm. She wanted to jump in my pocket

Look what landed in one of the bags today to go into the 5 foot with a new angel to ‘replace’ the Flame Back and the Vivian :)

Who is she. Not sure if it’s the bag making it blurry or I am heavily under the influence of stuff making her look blurry
She’s a proper juvenile twistii (plus a glimpse of my new angel)

Freshwater dip on the vivien, seems to be clear of fluke! I did notice some aggression from the gobies in the nano towards her so I wonder if that was the issue.

She’s now in the tank with the fish to go into the 5 foot (the 3rd nano) so there’s going to be minimal stress when it comes to moving the fish down.
However, my next painful job will be removing this flame back… he loves his 5 foot tank too much but to get these wrasse and the multicolour angel in he has to be evicted into a nano.

That’s my Vivien in FW dip, she was not happy about it but recovered nicely as soon as she was out of the 5 minute bath.

I’m really starting to think I should get a pintail again, they just look so nice in established reefs.

I didn't realize it was on its side and thought it was some long blind cave go by thing :face-with-tears-of-joy:

In my defense I was half assleep

Is that a hemi? TSM has a few for only $1200:)
Nope! A Pintail and a Diamont Tail with anthias in the back

I can’t believe how expensive Hemi’s are still. Although, I do have the chance for a Hemi or lennardi (I did consider the Lennardi but then went for the better wrasse… one I’ve wanted for a few years now and Crabby had a trio).

Someone needs to stop me… I have now picked up a 3rd wrasse to hit the 5 foot this week. Photos to come (obviously) but take your guesses;
It’s a fairy wrasse and almost black. A few months ago several people managed to grab them, I think @JoJosReef had one at some point, if not then definitely a relative

Okay okay, I suppose this thread is due to have another load of photos from my wrasse gang(s). So here’s the 5 foot’s gang :)
Then, for Christmas maybe we’ll do the Pinkies.
Starting with the photo I chose for my new profile pic.

@i cant think @Slocke
Maybe one of you guys can help me out. I have a sudden aggression onset with my C.Rubrimarginatus and C.Aurantidorsalis targeting my C.Isosceles. They have all been in the tank together for around a year. The Isosceles was there before any of the others and nothing has changed recently other than adding a H.Iridis who has nothing to do with any of the sudden aggression. I can't figure out why they would suddenly be attacking the pintail and it's going to be almost impossible to catch him and put him in an acclimation box. Any ideas?

I just saw C.Exquisitus chasing him as well now.
