[quote=GreenSpottedPuffer;380202]Yeah the two J&L got in the other day were some of the nicest I have seen. Make sure its an Australian (Im sure you know the difference).

Yup, only an Aussie for me. They are more colourful and hardier than the Indain Ocean.

GSP, I couldnt see but is your tank covered? Are these fish known to jump or no? I really like the layout of your tank. You must be a fish guy opposed to a coral guy! nice fish.

Yeah I am a fish guy! Corals to me are just decorations for the fishes home. Kind of like pictures on the wall. Having said that, I want beautiful pictures, so I try hard to keep the corals happy

I do have a top and yes I have heard too many of them jumping to keep them in a topless tank myself. They are a wrasse after all.

It doesn't matter the cost of the fish, a life is a life but this one would hurt the pocket book too. He wasn't cheap. Not in the price range of say Crosshatch triggers or black tangs of course but just around $200 with taxes and I rarely spend that much a fish.

Money well spent You of all people would do your homework about the fish and how to give him the awesome considerate home that all fish deserve.

Beautiful fish!!! I also have a Harlequin Tusk....and YES they do jump. I noticed mine was missing...sort of forgot as it was busy around here.... and a couple weeks later after we had searched the floor, sump etc...we decided to check the overflow...low and behold one HT fish!!!! A bit battered up as the overflows aren't very large...but after a few days of swimming and regular feeding he is back to his normal self..and once again the tank is covered with eggcrate.....
