Has your Regal Tang been getting a beating from the Purple? He looks a bit "rough around the tail".

thanks, guys! I am starting to really like the two bartletts... I only have the two but it looks like they are an item now as they are always swimming together and never far away from each other.

I've had the regal for almost three yrs now. I purchased him from Pro Reef with the tail like that and it has never changed since. As for the Purple he is a model citizen in the tank. I've never seen him/her acting aggresive to others. Speaking of aggression, my laboutti wrasse has been acting schitzo the last couple days... He would darting at the bartletts and others or chase them until he tires out. I thought Laboutti are suppose to be easy going...

Thanks. I'll take a crispy pic later tonight. Being lazy I had just used my 70-200 and cropped it so not the cleanest pic. I'm not certain if it is or not as this came from Jon (freezetyle), however it is certainly one of my favorites along with the valida from Darryl.

LOL! Well, the macro was on the second floor... The tank is in the basement... I forgot to mentioned that I used extension tubes with the 70-200. I was lazy to run up the stairs to get it.

Haha! I'll take some macro shots tonight.

Ah, good 'ol extension tubes. Love those things! Still, photographing your tank with the beastly 70-200, that's BOSS. I would be afraid of arm fatigue resulting in me dropping the entire contraption into my tank

To tell ya the truth my 180 macro is prob heavier than the 70-200, but I hear ya, I would never dangle that over the tank, especially with extension tubes... I'd use them only for front and side shots. But for you, I saw you doing some crazy mission impossible stunts to take pics of your tank... Something like this...

ya, something like that LOL. Incidentally, that's how I look when I'm on Canreef too..

Thanks, Greg! Have two gorgs that survived the tear down of the 120 back in Feb/March. I thought I had lost them as they were down to the skin purple blue skin and no polyps what so ever. Once the new 120 got going the Gorgs bounced back and quickly too. They are very resilient animals!

As promised... new pics!
