Thanks! You're close he's a square spot anthias... I call him Frank but my kids call him Pinky Pie lol. He's an eating machine but on the intelligence scale he ranks lowest in the tank no joke. When everyone's eating nori he can't figure out where it comes from. Everyone's nipping at it directly but he swims around like a fool and tries to get loose pieces before the chromis pounce on it.

I think Pinky Pie is more cute to call him though I like this fish too much, but I am afraid to try to have this anthias again after having failed one time. I think it needs a lot of room for him to swim like your tank. It is so cute when you say he can't figure out where is nori comes from

he did awesomely well in my 97g which was a modest 3x2 footprint. he's more of a hovering fish... not terribly active actually (unless he's trying to keep tabs on the magically appearing nori). i'm bummed i was never able to get his gf eating anything but mysis. she eventually perished.

I snapped this to show to someone... might as well toss it in here. Greg thinks it's hoeksemai. I just call it the blue one.

Tank looks awesome Brett!! Being hungover as a dog (can dogs get hangovers?) today I had time to go through all 73 pages of the thread. Glad you finally got your big tank going!

Thx bro sorry I missed this =) Yeah I am pretty stoked to have finally gotten a big one up and running. Trick is to keep it that way without going broke

Any plans to get yourself salty in the near future?

Growth and color (growth especially) had taken a serious hit with my move to 50g changes every 2 weeks. A guy just can't save a buck! So I've got another 10 pails of salt in my fishroom and I'm going to suck it up and do weekly changes again. I have added some new fish recently to the tank and I managed to get pics of most:

- Kien's beloved banana wrasse pair (thx bro!)
- red coris wrasse
- yellow tang
- starry blenny

This post is dedicated to the fishies (that played nice to semi-nice for the camera):
