Oh so nice!

That pic is too funny. Didn't Spotty like what Santa brought him?

Dentoid · 12-26-2007, 10:18 PM

Well, Spotty has been very active in the last few days! He decided to move to another spot just before Christmas. I could understand why, because his first home has always been prime real estate. Anytime they leave their burrow it eventually caves-in without them there to keep it groomed. This time it didn't. He had it so well supported that it stayed open. After about a day, I noticed that a small Serpent star had moved into his burrow. Perhaps that is why he decided to move. He moved to the left corner and built a make shift burrow under the GSPs.

Then the cucumber decided to slink down into the burrow on Christmas eve.

That fat wad completely obturated the burrow! Then on Christmas day Spotty decided to move back to prime real estate. Here is a series of pictures of him rebuilding/remodeling right around the cucumber!

Too funny! Room for rent anyone?

Craig Manoukian · 12-27-2007, 12:35 AM

Awesome photos/news Scott!

Dentoid · 12-28-2007, 08:16 PM

Since Spotty has moved back to prime real estate, he has been excavating the Taj Mahal!

Taking a break on the Yuma portico. He has carpeted his entrance with a nice pink ricordea rug

Here's the little engineer.

How cute!

Al right Scott,,, you've got to stop with these awesome pics. You're making everyone jealous!

Dentoid · 12-28-2007, 08:40 PM

I think you are right Greg. I get more comments on the pictures than the specimens!

michael_cb_125 · 12-28-2007, 09:07 PM

Great Pics Scott. That is a cute little fish.

bluespotjawfish · 12-28-2007, 10:04 PM

When did you get that ric? Is that a new baby ric I see too? As usual Spotty is absolutely awesome. Please don't stop with the photos, for some of us that is all we get!

tbittner · 12-28-2007, 10:09 PM

That really is a beautiful fish and it obviously provides a HUGE amount of entertainment. It sure is an active fish!

It looks like you got really lucky and have a good, fun one, Scott.

I've had that ric for several months, with the baby. Spotty keeps blowing sand all over it. He covers my zoa frags and spits sand on my clams. He's like a tasmanian devil.

Thanks Terry. Should we put you on the "Wannabe" list?

tbittner · 12-28-2007, 10:26 PM

Actually I DO have a question about the species. I've seen comments about BSJF having issues with internal parasites and in a closed, small system like we have then those parasites are probably responsible for an early demise.

Why is the ocean any different as far as these parasites are concerned? I mean, didn't they most likely contract them in the ocean? Do BSJF breed like bunnies in the wild and they just don't live long in the wild because the parasites overwhelm them but because of the bunny behavior, the species survives?

Not trying to be funny, I'm genuinly curious.

Don't worry Lorraine. He wouldn't dare. Nobody takes me seriously anyway.
