A new beginning

[wilsontantw]

Ya, Centropyge ferrugata (Rusty Angelfish).. Some actually come with whole body poker dot.. looks like leopard.. Anyway, nice pick...

Hey CF, thanks for sharing the pic. Indeed it's the rusty angelfish. Usually comes with full black dots along the whole body. But I picked this cos I like the bright yellow colouration.

[vt_snowman87]

wao the bright yellow is really very nice and special! good catch! almost like half flame haha!

[yikai]

Rusty angel us very variable in appearance. If you're lucky you can even find some with no dots and are entirely white instead if orange. Super rare though

Just witnessed the cruelty of nature...

2 days back, got myself a seahare to deal with the tank algae.. And it was certainly doing a good job. And earlier on, while doing the routine "how's-the-corals-doing" rounds, had difficulty locating the seahare, thought it must be behind the main rockscape.. Also noticed elegance coral expanding larger than normal.

Upon closer inspection and to my disbelief, within it, lies the seahare!!!! Whatever that's left of it.

Immediately took out the carcass.. Didnt have the chance to take picture cos it stinks bad... Goodness, I never knew elegance has such exquisite appetite.

Now I wonder, what on earth was the seahare doing in/near the elegance???

Is it trying to be a sea harelegance? "ok corny i know"... Really wonder how it happened.

RIP seahare. Although it's only 2 days, your contribution is much appreciated.

[peacemaker]

Woah... vicious appetite. Or maybe the seahare died of bloatedness from all that algae and the elegance was just helping itself...?

[yikai]

poor seahare! omg that's v sad.

[wilsontantw]

Indeed bros... I wonder why the elegance did that. It's my first time having a seahare in the tank, and now, should I banish the elegance to holding tank instead?

Sigh.. Now gotta rely on the 2 algae blennies to do the lawn mowing...

i'm trying to think of something funny or a pun to describe the sea hare thing but came up with nothing haha!

it's very morbid but yet super funny. especially how you descibed it.

I tried as well, ended up with the corny one instead... I feel so sad for the seahare. All it was trying to do was to do it's job! Elegance oh elegance. That act was simply not elegant!

As you can see, im staying up waiting for my turn to do the diaper change thing. Wifey feeds, I change.

Thank God, Baby's been a good girl. Only wails when feeding time and poo change.

[mengyang_neo]

Wow very nice collection of SPS and zoa, hee can do frag exchange liao, i see some unique monti. =p

[peacemaker]

That frag rack is getting a little too heavy... let me help you lighten the load.

[straydum]

Actually I haven't been visiting LFS for the past 1 month. new stuff are mostly from exchange. And yup, look forward to more exchange programs with ya bro.

That frag rack is getting a little too heavy... let me help you lighten the load.

Hahaha. Indeed it is. Had to use a piranha magnet to hold it. Truth is, I've been trying to reduce the frags on the rack since late last year... Instead, the rack got bigger and it's still fully packed.

looking great bro!

those bam bams are need to pay you a visit soon

Glad you like the BB rock... This is one rock that brightens up the tank. Actually some bam bam of the left died after being stung by a nearby elegance.

Let me know when u wanna pop by.

[onizukaa]

nice progress on the tank shots! must follow you to take some pics and keep myself update on my tank status. hee frags exchange soon bro haha

[wilsontantw]

Yeah. Sometimes when I'm free I will re-read my tank thread... Remind me of where or what I used to be. And I'm grateful I met a lot of nice reefers like you who didn't put me down when I was a newbie. Instead gave me a helping hand and taught me a lot!

Anyway, exchange is definitely in the cards with you bro! You acquire so many goodies! I still can't believe is lost by seconds in the last auction. Lol.

Whenever u can bro. (btw let me know what u like first k?) I have limited quantity of those premium ones. Some I have only just 1 polyp.
