Why do women feel the need to name every fish?

FYI not all women name their fish. Although I fully admit I'm one of the only women I know who doesn't I always have other female reefers ask me what name I gave my fish, and they are always surprised to find out they don't have names. That being said though, I do call my Sohal "Scar face" after the name Marie gave him (seemed only fitting after everything he went through with marine velvet) and for the life of me I can't help but call regal tangs "Dori"

Pinktail triggers is right Tony. Actually the pinktail trigger is supposed to be the most reef safe of them all. So far my pinktail trigger has proven that, my sexy, peppermint & pistol shrimp he leaves alone as well as my crabs and my sandsifting starfish.

Lance I love your Harlequin Tuskfish, very pretty fish. I was kinda of wanting one myself but I think my lunare wrasse (maybe) and my miniatus grouper (definitely) would pick on it too much, to warrant getting one. Ironically it's one of the few fish my King angel would leave alone.

Laurie, The Tuskfish (Sydney) chases my Lunare (Zippy) all over the tank, but can't catch him as he's too fast. Actually I think it may be as much playing as serious because the Lunare teases the Tusk to get him to chase it.

OK, here's the video of him working the powerhead for some food. This is about 2 minutes after the last pieces of mysis were eaten. Notice how he bumps the PH and then waits to see if any food will come out.

Not gonna happen. I'd sell my first born and left pheasant ball before I let this light go.

Man I hate those little noises that you hear (or think you hear)....sets up hours of paranoia....good to hear all is well Lance...

btw....you still running the pellets?.....nitrates still low?....just curious as I use your tank as an example of a successful pellet story all the time at the shop....
