Looks great. How do you manage to study and stuff in that pad? If it were me there would be way too many distractions. Must ... integrate .. second order differentials .... oooh pretty red polyps! *3 hours later* Must .. integrate ... second order differentials ....... oooh a featherduster! *many hours later* I should really start this essay. Hello fishy fishy!

Some new photos of Flash Gordon, after having a bunch of people over I'm not 100% on the orange socket tang ID anyone have any other suggestions? He's constantly changing color from black to white and has the craziest silver lines when he's angry.

The pretty red polyps are pretty nice :lol:. |
The tang looks like Acanthurus blochii, Tailring Surgeon
Try this link. http://www.fishbase.org/summary/spec...ry.php?id=4750 |
I've wondered that myself a couple times. I'm not sure though, the ones I've seen had had more blue but it's hard to tell since the differences could be because of juvenile colouration or something like that (or lighting/camera/etc stuff).
Some pictures of blochii I took earlier this year: http://lh6.ggpht.com/_ujFD9DxsrV8/S6...0/IMG_0456.JPG http://lh4.ggpht.com/_ujFD9DxsrV8/S6...0/IMG_0461.JPG If it helps cinch an ID.. |
Thanks for the suggestions guys, I guess I will have to wait for him to mature a bit more before I really take a swing at the ID.
That being said I would be ecstatic if he turned out like your photos Tony, what a magnificent looking fish! I would think this is the juvi ring tail: http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/3628/fishyfishy.jpg VS http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/8158/p1140693.jpg They certainly look similar but its not 100%. Maybe I have some sort of ring tail hybrid? Anyone have any good books for fish IDing lying around? On another note I boxed in my sump as the noise from my new skimmer was bugging me. I didn't want to spend a bunch of money so I went as cheap as possible. 1/2"thick pink insulating Styrofoam cut, spray painted black and affixed to the stand with velcro cost me just over $50.00 for all the supplies. Stupid cat's are now using the stand as a scratching post... At least there not peeing on it. |

I may have to steal this idea for mine as well. Skimmer is pretty noisy too. As for the cats, just give them time. They just don't like it enough yet. |

Couple new actinic photos: http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/2013/p1140737l.jpg http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/2016/p1140738.jpg Top downs: http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/9384/p1140708.jpg http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/2395/p1140710.jpg http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/3081/p1140727.jpg http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/9899/p1140729i.jpg I picked up a new colony that I have never seen before today, I thought it was magicians but I'm almost positive it's a zoa because of the size. Magician palys are like 4 times the size of these little guys, there the red ones located in the top of the photo. http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/5117/p1140734.jpg |
New colony opened up pretty quick, here are some day light shots. They look exactly like magicians just 1/4th the size.
