My Leucoxanthus comes right up to the glass. Camera comes out and he's in a cave somewhere, I touch the lid and he's under the sand immediately.
Same with my chrysus. Terrified of the sky faling.

Because @felda001 put the seed in my mind... If I can find a tiny one, I'm thinking Garnoti or Chrysus for the sump if I add sand. When it gets bigger I'll transfer to the DT....?

Will the sump be a lit refugium? I'd at least have a light schedule for the fish.

The viviens better have your name on them
Yep! She’s mine, just got to pass QT.

Money went down for the Choat’s and I decided to trial a Vivienae at the same time so it was always a case of who landed first and well, after a year and a half a Viviens actually landed!

Oh! And @JoJosReef Ill be joining you with a Splendens if it passes QT!
Have you noticed your pencil wrasses making clicking sounds with their mouth? Almost as loud as a pistol shrimp. I need to take video of mine. It's crazy how loud he is. He can also spit quite a distance.

Yes! Mine love to make that noise when hunting for food.

My Foxface does that. I think it’s eating the oil layer that accumulates in one corner of my tank.

Getting old sucks. Beats the alternative though

So what I’m hearing is they are mechanical pencils

Is that a baby rose-band?

Last fish left on my “bucket list.” So jealous.
Yep! I think it’s a female Roseafascia but I don’t know if it’s a male - I for once can’t remember what the females look like compared to younger males.

Love the males, wish I could keep them but they definitely want cooler water than I have.

How’s your Atavai doing?
