S:

wth...? so cute

A. fuscocaudatus

digiman! ID for me pls

fuel isn't this ur dottyback...? found it in bbox 1 year ago.

hmm....any photos from DD? or any old links or photos? i don't think its skittish. pseudocoris wrasses are not skittish. they do however, hide in the sand for the first few days like coris, halichoeres and macropharyngodon wrasses.

hm... still can't find any info regarding it's behaviour. i hope it won't be fierce like those coris gaimard etc. it's sleeping in the sand... with it's head peeking out. should not be too difficult to feed. and i hope the colours retain in my tank...

oh iwarna and ahbeng have some red sea fish. asfur, sohal, purple tang. maculosus at ahbeng only, iwarna dun have.

nope. does not look like typical swim bladder problem. but i will not rule it out. swim bladder problem usually stomach will bloat, and will float upwards. breathing will not be so laboured actually... although will slightly increase. what your lineatus is experiencing is likely the "deep water wrasse syndrome" where after a few days, they will just behave strangely and die. probably from improper handling or shipping stress, or internal problems/parasites. rhomboids, lineatus, flame, laboutei, often suffer from this problem. rhomboids and lineatus being the most prone. sad to say, there is no cure. your lineatus will likely die by tomorrow or the day after. unless a miracle happen, which is not impossible. i've experienced this before on a female rhomboid... swim bladder problems are difficult to cure. i don't know if there's any solid method for curing or not... some fishes seem to resolve it on t heir own... while others just die.

OOPS. 2.5 LOL! if i'm not wrong is 2.5 red notes. if i did not hear wrongly. call to check first

ok. photosynthetic, easy to keep species. found in carribean. time to hunt!

OMG IT'S PHOTOSYNTHETIC!!! OK MUST GET LIAO.

YES!!! THANKS! that was fast! finally found the name for it. can go read up liao. i LOVE this but dunno ANYTHING about it.

This is my favourite sea fan. i see it occasionally in people's tanks overseas but have no idea what it is. anyone know?? and is it photosynthetic? i want to know the scientific name so i can search for it. anyone know? thanks the purple 1

its the way they take foto oso. must find the nice ones. my standard is VERY high when it comes to genicanthus and pomacanthus. all the irregular bar, faded colour, not morphed properly, ugly ones etc i will reject.
