Some great photos so far! Here's one of mine. This is a Chaetodon ulietensis or double saddleback butterfly. Originally purchased to help keep majano under control, which all disappeared within a few weeks, and then aiptasia. Unfortunately after that he developed a taste for more expensive things so he now lives ina FOWLR. Had him about 2 years now I think. He can help dispel the myth that butterflyfish are peaceful fish, he is the king of his tank and lets the others know.

Thanks man, haha it's one of about 100 attempts. I had to switch cameras too, the first one I used just utterly spooked him, not sure what was up with that, I think he was seeing the focus beam or something.

Can I ask the people with Copperbands what you find them eating mostly in your tanks? Flake/Pellet/Cyclopeeze/Frozen, etc?

Mine goes after brine, mysis, white worms and hunts feather dusters & asptasia down like no other.
Actual submission: http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/4416/mg9578.jpg You would think being a butterfly he would go after zoas :razz:, he's never shown interest luckily enough. http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/2184/img2936h.jpg |

I might change my upload in that case :lol:, why has no one else uploaded photos beside Tony and I?
I have a feeling that & the lack of sticky might be hindering the success of POTM. Uploading downgrades the quality of the photo, would be nice to see POTM back to it's old form. |

Thanks, the tang in the background is a Blonde Nasso (Nasso elegans). The Bariene is a beautiful tang, just don't see too many of them around.
