  1. here's the same thing in my tank. can see the neon green polyps against the light coloured body. fibre optic sinularia! photo shows the polyps closed. already can see the bright green contrast. i was a fool to believe it was a normal sinluaria! enough is enough. never doubt fuel anymore. a gem is a gem haha
  2. would like to chide in regarding rhomboids. rhomboids are not difficult when stable. in fact, very hardy like most other fishes. but, alot of them die from collection being a deepwater fish, these guys are very delicate especially when shipping. they don't ship well, and are very sensitive to sudden changes in parameters. when buying from shipment day, there is always a risk especially with rhomboids. rhomboids are very popular and are snapped up within the first few hours. some even go 6am to get it. casualty rates for this fish are very very high, sometimes, and at times, every single one will die. this shipment was not very good. almost all rhomboids were dead within the first day, except bro kueytoc's 1 which i reserved for him. not sure if its still alive. the fatality for this fish proves that they cannot handle shipping well. but bless the person who manage to get a healthy specimen, these guys are tough. i have one that is with me for many many months now. no problem. don't feel obligated to buy even if you reserve. the LFS will understand and especially iwarna, they have excellent customer service. i know because i was the whole day yesterday and they treat customers with utmost respect. so don't be shy the next time. rhomboids, like most deepwater wrasses, die within the first few days of transport. if they make it, there's usually a 1 month break in period. this 1 month will be exgtremely crucial to the survival. after this period, usually they will survive long term. i wish you success in your future trial with the rhomboid wrasse. take note regarding flame wrasse, lineatus and laboutei. they usually bear the same symptoms. but is worse in rhomboids due to their deeper dwelling nature. when you get home, acclimate and release into betta box. dont leave them in the plastic. rhomboids endure extremely long hours from marshall islands (where they are exclusively found) to our shores. they are beat up due to shipping and decompression. when they get to the LFS, they succumb to successive change in water parameters without proper acclimation. its little wonder why none survives. do PM me if you have more question regarding wrasses or in this matter, the rhomboid. will be happy to help.
