grouchou angel is a very special fish. the story behind it is very interesting. in marshall islands, 10% of the lemon peel and vrolicki population are hybrids. and out of this 10% of hybrids, 20% of them spawn amongst each other. so it's hybrid x hybrid spawning. and out of these hybrid x hybrid spawn, there is a small percentage that are aberrations. and these aberrations are grouchou angels. so multiply the odds, grouchou angels are very rare!

nonsense

i think you have an infestation of asterina starfishes then

i want it. i think it should be the same species as the other one i got from iwarna which didn't make it.

thanks des! patience, research and planning is of utmost importance!

i love the new look too. tomorrow going hunting for more fish haha. i'm still a fish person lah. ultimately all this coral is just to make the fishes look more beautiful. i'm just lucky that my heavy feeding and high fish load is going well with the easy SPS.

i think the new coral outcrop adds colour and more dimension to the tank. yet it does not compromise the open concept and does not add clutter. the coral mount is separate from the main rock structure and is divided by long valleys of sand. not evident in the photos though. an updated FTS. the birdnests are new, from wild shipment. let's just hope they don't die placed them at the mount there as the flow is good, and lights aren't too strong.

Did somethign to the tank today. added a small liverock to create a new coral outcrop. 2 birdnests, 1 large caulestra and a pavona fitted nicely in place. the fishes love it and are curious of their new formation and the rusty flame conquered this as it's territory. the chromises are also sleeping in the birdnest.

3 A. kingi were caught and sent to taiwan! they are awaiting re-exporting to japan. isn't it illegal to ship fishes out of S.A?

poor tank conditions. your starfish is dying

The first person to say that. I've been wondering when someone would notice. My scape is heavily influenced by chingchai's tank. His scaping is very very clever and intelligent. I am not a fan of cluttered scaping that is very dense. I've always wanted a very open pillar like scape but a small tank does not allow it. With this tank, I could be free to play around and experiment with the open concept. I also did a few isolated coral mounts on the sanded which is made up only of one large rock. It's very lagoon style which is great in freeing up open space So people who considering a square tank could take this into consideration

thanks for the compliment

Thanks digi and braincoral. Yes I need a show fish. You told me before. But I don't like big fishes and show fishes usually need to be big and nice. But I'll try to see what I can do

A video update. Please watch in 720p HD for best quality!

thanks des! :0

amazing aberrant orante butterfly from PNG! the markings look almost tribal! v nice

resized the pics for easier viewing,

most importantly is you must like the fish... no point buying something rare and ugly but only getting it coz it's rare.

thanks thanks

i dont think you want this kind of blenny. cirripectes blennies grow huge and really, very ugly.

well yea a "harem" haha. thanks!

i never reef so long haha. my pioneer batch at least ._>
