OMG! Look at these hybrids and rare fishes!
FuEl replied to Digiman's topic in FOWLR (Fish-only with Live-rock)
Doubt it's wild. Ocellaris I would guess but for it to be this color quite a few gene mutations need to occur, which is very rare in the wild. Amelanistic and missing bars & a third mutation on the "orange gene". -

You don't have to worry as clam at Iwarna are imported from exporters that perform QC checks before they are shipped out. Pyramid snails are usually found on clams coming from poorly maintained export & holding facilities, which we do not import from. That is why cheap clams always have a caveat.

Red Ruby Dragonette (Successes and Failures)
FuEl replied to cutebarra77's topic in FOWLR (Fish-only with Live-rock)
Shipping is horrible for this fish. 20-30% DOA usually and another 20-30% in the hands of aquarists. Numbers that make it in aquaria are probably less than 40% of imported numbers. Given how these fish are recently being indiscriminately exploited for the aquarium trade since their recent collection, there is no way collection in such numbers is ever sustainable. If this was a common species, it would not take so long for them to appear in the trade, this species probably has a very limited distribution in the wild. As responsible hobbyists perhaps it is good to reflect on how such unregulated collection will impact the species in the wild. -
Pyramid snails don't usually come with other corals, they come from infested clams.

Iwarna has one epaluette shark from Australia. Very hardy species that can tolerate low oxygen levels.
