So he went in my tank last night so quietly.  He slipped into a rock and wedged himself in there before anyone even noticed him (the lights being off probably helped).  He was still there this morning when I left for work.  Mr. T was swimming right next to him, but I swear he didn't know he was even there.  I'll send you an update tonight when I get home.  Can I name him Marco?  Or Polo?

He's doing great. Already coming out for food!

Oh, and niger have beautiful sapphire blue and deep violet purple colors under reef lights. Amazingly beautiful! Thanks!

[monkiboy]

thanks for the photo share and update, tricia. i definitely lose some of the color with just the ambient light in videos. some of the best colors really do come out over reef lighting! enjoy and keep me posted.

I have had nigers for years, only get rid of them when they get too big.  Never had any issues with them in my reef tank.  The one I have now has a heck of a good time fighting over the NORI i feed my tangs.  HE LOVES IT

True    You will love that fish.

P.S. I have one that liked to jump out, and have heard that this is not uncommon with them. The one I had landed in a 10 gallon tank one time on the floor that had a little saltwater in it and was ok. The last time he jumped he landed in the ATO water, that did not end well. Kinda funny he kept jumping in containers with water.
BTW having a non wamas cookout on saturday, wamas members welcome with a rsvp.
