Mine love ROE, too. I just switched up my liquid food doser mix:

Bit more ROE going into the tank at once now, and the M. bipartitis is going nuts. It's actually funny because she is so much more agile than the clowns and gets all of the ROE floating around (and the rest gets mopped up by the H. chrysus and tailspot).

Probably my favorite thing to feed. I keep the powerheads on and put drops in front of them. Creates a snow globe effect and every one goes wild. They have a lot of fat/nutrition too.

The devil himself

Possum (speaking like Bane from Batman):

“Speak of the devil and he shall appear.”

Just to be 100%, this is a female/young male mccoskeri right?

Well, coming home with 2 wrasses. One you know already the second you may know if you know what I’ve now got in the main tank.

@Slocke may like this clue;
It’s Latin name seems to become ‘Lip which resembles halved’

Acclimation!!

And… not only did I get a photo of the newbies… I got a two in one shot!

And of course, a better photo of the Mccoskeri.

How’s the cleaner?
Pestering other fish? Is it eating frozen yet?

Oooo, is that the McKosker and a cleaner?

Honestly, he’s being pestered by the others for his cleaning duties! They all see him swimming and turn to their side infront of him then he gives them a look down and swims off.

As for frozen, I had the choice of 2. This guy or a much smaller specimen. I took this one as it was from a tank break down and so I knew it was feeding already, the other also fed on frozen but I figured I’d give this guy a second chance in a reef system.

Yep! A female Mccoskeri and a Cleaner
Here was the (already sold) male - If he wasn’t sold he would’ve been coming home.

That might be the best photo of a McCosker I’ve seen!

 

[i cant think]

Although, now she’s home I think she may be a carpenteri by the striping, @SaltyT or @Crabby48 any confirmation if I got a carpenteri or a mccoskeri?

The thing putting me off of saying carpenteri is due to how round her fins are.

This was by far the best specimen I’ve ever seen, he was a stunner.

This guys checking out one of his many clients! I just love watching him give them a check over.
