    Definitely like the new wrasse. I have an Indo variant of the same species as well. He gets along with all my other wrasses and loves to devour food. :)

    Thatnks you two. I really got lucky this is a great looking fish. For about 10 years i always wanted a high grade scott's fairy wrase for their color but this guy is amazing. My last wrasse (maybe I feel pretty stocked) would be some variety of leopard wrasse. I also sorta want a Zebrasoma tang (probably scopas for size and attitude)

    New colony. When Shin came up to visit this was a 'not for sale' coral the owner wanted to hold onto. I talked with him today and he loaded into a bucket for me. It has two acro crabs. No big deal.

    Here is the underside with a crab.

    And my favorite show. 3 colonies lined up, it must be the end of the Mayan Calender. ?Validia?, Milliepora, Efflorescens:

    And finally snails fighting LPS... and not winning.

    Nice, what a beast of a colony.

    I'm glad you were able to actually save your acro crab(s) unlike others who murder them :uhoh2:
