Judging from the transparency of the tail, I would say it is A. fuscocaudatus. A. tricinctus looks like a normal 3-bar orange form clarkii with a darker shade near the top of the body, only that the tail is black.

Clean the neck once a week. You'll be amazed.

I bought a clove coral (clavularia) from one LFS few weeks back. I shared this coral with a friend. The coral did'nt make it in both our tanks, although it was in the pink of health at the LFS. Both of us did what many people would do, take the coral out of the bag and put it in the tank. Few days ago, I went back to the same shop and bought another clavularia. This time I dripped acclimatized it for about 4-5 hours. Next day, it was opening already. For those who cannot figure out why you can't keep certain corals, try drip acclimatizing them. It does help.

Chrysopterus are disease magnets.

It's in my frag tank due to temperature concerns. Read that it needed temperatures below 28 degrees celcius. It already started eating in the QT so I just released it into the frag tank. It's still eating in there so I hope the cooler temperatures will help it. I am keeping temperature at 27 degrees celcius for it.

Hi spirit, I feel it would be unfair to make such a generalization. Such happenings are a common occurrence in all forums. If you had posted more than 4 times since 2003, I am sure you would not make this kind of generalization. I would be sure that you would have received much more assistance than you would have anticipated. Regards, Junkai P.S: These comments come from my own and in no way represent the SRC moderatorship.

It just ate 2 frozen mysids which I swired around with a gentle water jet from a syringe.

Woke up this morning and the clownfish is gone! This guy has a very good appetite. Hopefully can wean it onto frozen foods.

I also never see. I only know there was this weird fish with the chalk basslets, but I doubt that was a Liopropoma.

Should be reef-safe, only worms need to fear. They have been known to eat tube worms. I keeping mine with my 1" perculas. The crabs seem quite peaceful, minding their own business.

Where is your pet spider?

Here it is in it's own quarantine tank at the moment. The pectoral fins were quite torn but it is very alert overall. This has got to be my favourite lionfish of all time. It did not eat the bite sized percula clown I gave it. Instead it seemed to go crazy over live enriched adult brine shrimp.

Will not be so soon before they breed. Maybe 1.5 - 2 years later.

Just added a 2" Parapterois heterura to my fish culling team. Pectorals seem somewhat torn but looks healthy. Will try to get it feeding on clownfish.

LCK has many colourful sand anemones from Africa.

Not expensive. Same price as the blue hornets.

Looks like an allardi with a streamer. It has 2 tell-tale signs of allardi. The base of the pectoral fins is black and the third stripe near the tail only runs halfway down the body and extends along the top of the tail fin.

Iwarna has yellow longnose butterfly, pyramid butterfly and sunburst anthias.

Pic taken with flash.

Hi bro, I'll take them.

LCK has new zoanthids from africa as well. I got one piece with turquoise body, turquoise skirt and yellow mouth. CF came in carribean shipment. Pricing was not out today. Ricordia florida, peppermint shrimp, some hermit. Lionfish fanatics there is the fuzzy dwarf lionfish at the back, red morph with ultra RED pectorals. Also 1-2 inch radiata lionfish.

I beg to differ. 2K for something that can be propagated via fragging is way overpriced. 2K for a rare fish that cannot be bred sounds more logical.

We get grade A and grade B at the same price too. Some grade Bs look great. I've got grade Bs that look way better than grade As.

Nice. From ORA shipment? Those all look like grade A. Grade A as long as at least one bar joins to the other bar. If none of the bars join, they are grade B.

Coralfarm has a few pieces, all the way at the back row of tanks. Remember seeing some at Pinnacle as well.
