WOW...thank you for taking pics...and thanks for the compliments all.

Yes, sadly the idol eats anything that is green...Zoas, Brains, Mille's (oh not color specific on those...all colors are a "go"), and was starting to taste the Hammer and Frogspawn...so he's in the sump now (*sigh*) and going to Mrfish55 in Powell River to live out his life in his 750g. I'm very very sad to part with him as he has HUGE personality and of course is a store hit!

Tank's looking good Sarah! Can't wait to see it on Thursday. And I'm sure Mr. Idol will like his new home. He'll be famous: The only MI in P.R.

That fish is a stunner but I don't think I'd every chose a fishy over coral. Tough call with such a show-worthy specimen!

Pretty trippy looking outside through the tank. Are you planning to leave it as is?

I had the pleasure of visiting Sarah's (Chaloupa) new store today and I was very impressed. Fishes and other livestock all looked healthy and fit, and the tanks were all clean and well maintained. The new 10' display tank is killer! Gonna look great when those corals grow in. Good job Sarah!
I came home with Dave's (MrFish55) new Moorish Idol, a very nice Squamosa, and some nice-looking zoas. I'll get some pics of the clam up in the next few days.

Thanks for the Idol, he's a beauty. Thanks Lance for bringing it home, I will get some pics up in the next few days, I am sure it will make a nice addition to the 750.

Thanks Lance! Glad to see you again! Thank you for transporting the MI for Dave

Dave.....I miss him already, he's an amazing fish..and the biggest I've ever seen. He was AWESOME in our tank...but I want to keep coral more...*sigh* Glad he's in your tank, I'm sure it will be perfect!

Because I suck at updating it, and it goes to the bottom very quickly!
