Newest member of my reef

jesse_224 · 07-26-2006, 08:27 PM

Say hello to the newest member of my reef family. The guy at my LFS had trouble catching her and ended up cutting her head right above the right eye. I went aghead and bought her anyways and she is doing fine now. The cut healed up in 3 days.

Hmm, name it Scarface? Did the guy give you a serious discount for damaged goods? LOL!!
Nice looking clown...

He should have, too bad I didnt notice it was cut until I got home. I did check it out before I bought it and it wasnt cut. I guess he got a little too rough with the net.

Lin

jesse_224 · 07-26-2006, 11:15 PM

I havent named her yet. I guess its a her at the moment because she is digging in my sand I think only the females do this (please correct me if im wrong)......After she makes it a month or so I will probably name her.

lcstorc · 07-27-2006, 06:09 AM

LOL I am a firm believer in the delayed naming method myself. I want to be reasonably sure they are going to survive first.
Best of luck.

Actually, female/male, it's the same fish...if you put a smaller one in with that one, the larger one will become a female. If you put that one in with a larger one, this one will become male...since it's the only one, it will probably become female (IIRC) but subject to change...

boozeman · 07-27-2006, 01:04 PM
