    picked up the emperor a couple more buddies today. I had a bunch of corals deemed "probably not large angel safe" and a TON of frags that I took into my favorite LFS. they had a nice little harlequin tusk and a beautiful flame angel I just had to have along with another huge finger leather I took home. cant beat an even swap like that.

    UPDATE:

    just for steve . . . took me around 15 attempts to get this one, I had no idea how much tusks moved. It never dawned on me that being a wrasse it would cruze the tank like a 6-line or my yellow corris.

    on a sad note, my "female" bluethroat trigger is now a full blown male. i mean, its nice paying for a drab female and seeing it bloom into a beautiful male, but I'm kinda bummed as I really wanted a pair.
