Laurie; we got her as a female Hawaiian Flame Wrasse, we got 2 females and a male from a supplier. They seem to look like him, and react to him.... The Naso loss really really sucked...it made no sense whatsoever.

Here's praying that the MI behaves.....I am soooo hopeful.....

Thanks for the wrasse ID that would be cool if that is what mine turns into. I guess most juvi fairy wrasses look alike so for now it's a bit of a waiting game.

But it's a fun waiting game!!! LOL...and if that's not what yours is, time to get another wrasse "just in case" they turn out to be the right one. I freakin LOVE wrasses....that and tangs are my downfall. And then I see someone with a gorgeous wrasse and I want that one too! I have a juvenile Pylei female...I keep hoping she's going to become a male.....LOL!

I stopped by the store and took some pics... It looks like your Morish Idol is eating your zoas... one type anyways.

And a FTS to finish it off.

lookin good Sarah and great pics "Green".......must be a bear trying to keep the glass on the window side of the tank clean?.....those aren't zoas....they are bon-bons:mrgreen:

Wow the tanks looks amazing! I absolutely love your MI if they weren't so hard to keep I'd definitely have one. Thank-you Greenmaster for sharing! :biggrin:

FYI Doug if we ever get a new house together we should have a tank like this :mrgreen:

Leah 02-28-2011 02:47 PM

Wow! is right the tank is beautiful!!!! :mrgreen:

Chaloupa 02-28-2011 03:28 PM

WOW...thank you for taking pics...and thanks for the compliments all.

Yes, sadly the idol eats anything that is green...Zoas, Brains, Mille's (oh not color specific on those...all colors are a "go"), and was starting to taste the Hammer and Frogspawn...so he's in the sump now (*sigh*) and going to Mrfish55 in Powell River to live out his life in his 750g. I'm very very sad to part with him as he has HUGE personality and of course is a store hit!:sad:

Tank's looking good Sarah! Can't wait to see it on Thursday. And I'm sure Mr. Idol will like his new home. He'll be famous: The only MI in P.R. :biggrin:

That fish is a stunner but I don't think I'd every chose a fishy over coral. Tough call with such a show-worthy specimen!

Pretty trippy looking outside through the tank. Are you planning to leave it as is?
