Your tank is looking great! I have to admit, I'm a bit jealous of your Fridmani, it's beautiful. Nice deep color. I'd been looking for one for months and my wife spotted this little runt at Petco getting beat up by damsels. It was about 1.5" long and very pale. Not the specimen I was looking for but my wife insisted that we save it so we brought it home and have had it for about 3 weeks now. It's doing well eating and is active but I can't seem to brighten it up yet. I'll just have to give it more time and some good food I suppose. Anyway, well done, everything looks very nice.

Thanks Justin! It's a noble thing that you took on that runt. Keep feeding it well and it will repay you with beauty and awe!
Thanks Craig! Are you suggesting that I get a Amblygobius? To my knowledge I don't have any specimens in that genus.
Thanks Doni! I didn't realize how big his mouth was until I got that shot!
Right now he is smaller than my shrimps, but I can see a day that he may turn on them if he gets bigger. In the meantime, I am adoring that little guy.
Thanks Terry! Spotty has become very brazen and comfortable. He has been taking strolls outside of his burrow. Perhaps looking for a mate or a new piece of real estate.
Thanks Lorraine! Back in September I had a event in my tank that killed all my Montis. Not really sure what. At the time I started adding kalc through my ATO. However, shortly after they died I had a cyano outbreak. It ended up being the actinic bulbs were old and the color temperture had changed. After I got my Solaris, all the cyano went away. I suppose it could have been the old bulbs that caused the demise of the montis. Fortunately, I have 4 frags of the red monti in my frag tank and I gave a frag to Terry and one each of the red and pink-tan to Melanie before they met their maker. I'm contemplating whether I should put another one back in the display.
Thanks Kelli. My Kelli is doing great. She is out all the time now!
I love the color splash she brings to the reef.
