Congratulations on your regal tang and I was just looking at one today at the LFS but was in poor condition.

A pic will have to wait till after christmas, our current digital camera is not working. We, the wife and I, are hoping for a new one for christmas.

Besides, the little guy has not come out of his new hidy hole yet. Its been since 4pm yesterday. I am hoping everthing is ok.
