my favourite fairy wrasse.

Cirrhilabrus marjorie

[yikai]

rhomboid just woke up in the morning. showing darkened colours due to stress and night time colours.

such large rhomboids almost never do well. i hope mine doesn't come up with some stupid decompression problem or other wrasse problems in the next few days.

this picture taken with flash. look at the unreal colours that shows up when the camera flash reflects off the golden scales!

unbelievable. but don't believe the colours of this photo. no rhomboid wrasse in the world have colours like this.

another pellet feeding venustus with extra blue colouration on the head. yellow band separating head from body is absent in this unique individual.

now i have a pair!

[yikai]

some pictures of my corals.

blue cespitularia. now i'm wondering which one grows faster. this one? or my xenias.

these are frags from the first cespitularia colony from LCK very long ago. the original 1.5ft tall colony melted when i was overseas. these are it's babies and they have overtaken my entire rock.

[yikai]

i think xenia still win.

it's now a forest bordering the side of the rocks and will soon spread towards the middle.

can see some little cespitularia frags encroaching on the left side. they look extremely blue when viewed from the top

[yikai]

the other part furthur up

[yikai]

2 colonies of branching hammer coral.

i love them! pardon the sandbed. it's still a little brown but the condition is MUCH better and is going away slowly after dosing zeozyme

[yikai]

SPS.

Valida showing very rapid growth. although not much growth from the tips, the base has fully encrusted the artificial stone in which it came from. lazy to frag it off the stone so i just left it in my tank lol... the whole stone is encrusted now yay.

colour wise i think faded a little. it's more green in the middle but the purple tips are still present.

2nd picture shows when i first got it, 1st picture show currently.

[yikai]

Blue tort. (picture cut off due to liverock)

growth is very slow. colouration drop alot from blue, to now green.

oh well. as long as it doesn't become brown or die, i'm ok with it.

compare with when i first got it in the 2nd picture. the blue has faded to green and only right at the tip still remain abit blue.

[yikai]

curious fishes greet me when i take top down photos. can get in the way and is abit irritating.

nice sps meh? ok ok only lah.

luckily im not those obsessed about SPS kind. so i don't mind the drop in colour but the growth on the valida is encouraging.

xenias? i dunno. they just grow like weeds. but i like it though. i will only start complaining and cutting them once they run out of space to grow. which won't take long since they're on their own rock sitting in the middle of the sand.
