Thumbs up Juvenile Aussie Harlequin Tusk (Choerodon fasciatus).....

Say "Hello." to my little friend.....

I had the fortunate opportunity to come across this little guy. It's currently being well cared for at Explor3r's cave.

I've had Indo Tusks in the past but this is my first Aussie juvenile. It's pretty much eating anything we feed it - frozen, pellets, or flake.

A LFS burned up the phone lines with their supplier to snag the Tusk for me before another store could snatch it.

In quarantine at the LFS:

He's so cute! One of my clients had one and the fish was bad for eating snails and his sand sifting gobies. Beautiful fish though.

Ooo....sand sifting gobies eh? I'll have to keep my eyes peeled. Thanks. So far; it's getting along well with its sixline tankmate.

In all fairness, he added the sand sifting gobies to the tank after the Tuskfish. The Tuskfish ate them as soon as they hit the water.
