Re: My 265 gallon in wall reef.

Yahhhh... Ok not the best,, All tangs ( yellow, blue hippo, kole tang and the new gold rim ) get along great... The gold rim does have a scrape on his side. I think it is from the rocks... He tries to squeeze his big butt in small cracks... anyway...lol Yesterday was just like xmas.... The only one I didnt get a picture of is my citron,,, it is playing shy..

Re: My 265 gallon in wall reef.

Cheeks,,, I will try to get a closer shot of the wrasse and yes I have a coral banded shrimp and a fire shrimp..... yikes.. They didnt tell me that..

The gold rim is a beaut,, he is doing so well , swimming out in the open and never even flinched with any stress from the acclimating and transfer... Its like hes been in the tank for months...

Thanks FFRankie... I think they did have a label on the tang as a white cheek gold rim. You are right.
