[Acanthurus pyroferus]

[roidan]

actually quite common, just that pasir ris side maybe not often seen..other places do bring in often

already had this piece early this year...this pic taken in feb,

look below the sailfin

[bwilly]

I used to have one plate.. it expands so big under my MH, moves around, rampage my other tank..

my tank sunday lohz.. dunno can support 3tangs or not..

add another sailfin.. bio-ocean tik got some huge ones last

I went there.

[bubble_gum]

just askin but ard hw much u all pay 4 dat colour specimen?

[roidan]

those long tentacled plates are more likely to roam around...the short tentacled ones are quite obedient..hehe

...3 tangs in your new tank would be no problem...dun get too big so tat you got more time with them before they outgrow the tank

[FuEl]

Long tentacled plate corals don't roam lah...at least not using their own energy to actively move around..They just bloat themselves up with water and make use of water currents to drift around. Something like water balloons.

[roidan]

yeah...but by the expansion and purging, it will slowly move to a place it likes...really...i always push it away from the front glass...but it always end up near the front glass..

maybe rodian meant that way.. should have seen them "roaming"

ages ago I thought they are permanent base one..

scaly topple down from top of my LRs.. from them on, only at my DB.

But veri good to see it feed prawn meat..

I remember I got one damsel playing along in the tentacles....

[FuEl]

heh..actually I thought they make use of alternating bloating and deflating movements to move around at first.. Then someone told me they make use of currents to move.. So I also not really sure how they move in the first place. But so far I never noticed my plate moving..cause it's in a low-moderate flow area..

[roidan]

hehe..ok..

so no matter wat their methods, they do really move when they want to ....

compared to really stationary corals like brain corals...hehe
