Borbonius Anthias.....
 

"Say hello to my little friend....."

This guy is NOT shy and is out all the time :) . He will eat anything - flakes, pellets, mysis, cyclopeeze and holds his own with larger tank mates (Purple Tang, Sargassum Trigger, and Blue Throat Trigger) when the food frenzy occurs.

Early Christmas Present.....
 

A local LFS recently brought in 4 of these Borbs for me and a few friends. 3 went to friends/local hobbyists and the one you see below is a Christmas present for a buddy of mine. It's about the size of a $2 coin. The first 4 pictures were taken at the LFS, the final 2 pictures were taken as it acclimates in my refugium as it awaits its new Christmas home. :biggrin: Not the best pictures as they were taken with my phone....but you get the idea.

Nice! I totally miss my Borb. You don't see these guys much anymore :-(. Great score!

Baller status Red!!:D

Beautiful fish and kinda goofy looking too. I love it!

Sweet fish, had ours for about 4 years favourite part was he lived upside down most of his life, mine was very bold also great score.

One of my favourites, I love the look of these guys.

How much $ he set you back? These are typically a very very pricy acquisition aren't they?
