Nice tank shots Marcus.

Brad, it's not a hi fin red banded goby, it's a yellow headed or pearly jawfish with pieces of macro in front of it

I have a pair in my seahorse tank & as Tony the Tiger would say, "They'rrrrrrrre GREAT!!!!

Ok .. thanks. I thought I was losing my mind or something. I was thinking, "That looks EXACTLY like a yellow headed jawfish but I've never seen markings like that!" It didn't occur to me at all there was something in front of it.

Anyhow, thanks for the info!!

PS. Dang Ryan, when I look at that link you posted, I'm amazed how similar it looks. That's a pretty cool fish too!

Beauty tooo!!! Now I know what's my next fish going to be

Hahah not a Pearly Jawfish. It is actualy a shrimp goby. hahah A red banded or yellow-nose shrimp goby Muck has the exact fish there in that url. We are talking aobut the fish under the regal tang are we not.

Really Ryan

I talk to Marcus regularly & I even told him where to buy this fish after he saw my posted pic of one from my tank so I guess it must have morphed since the weekend, eh

It's a Pearly Jawfish (Opistognathus aurifrons) and we both bought ours from King Ed's Pets for $25 each.

Getting back to the thread, Marcus, it's time for a bigger tank don'tcha think

and you think Ryan is drinking?

Hey all! Just to answer a few questions on this thread . . .

My tangs are about a year and 2 months old

My skimmer is an aquac remora (this is the only type of filter I have running in this tank). . . I have a 12 gal fuge that serves as a frag farm and I have some grape caulerpa down there (Tank is split in two at the bottom) my lighting at the bottom is a 4x 1 footer T5's 2 actinic 2 10000k

No I don't drip kalk (I just buy those bottles . . . I use reef complete, iodide and dt's phyto plankton . . . simple as that)

No my clowns don't even go near that rose bubble tip . . . (I thought they would!) But they love the anthelia . . . thats where they are currently residing. . .

And as for the fish . . . that is most definately a HI FIN red banded goby . . Besides . . . I think I know what I buy before I buy them. . . my yellow head jawfish is not in the picture . . . (although if you look at the tang pic you can see the jawfish's reflection on the left)

Hopefully I'L upgrade to a 72 or 77 gallon or a 130 and up gallon when I have my own place!!

Thanks for reading!
