Ms. Freckles got jealous of the attention the new guy was getting and decided to photobomb:

The semilarvatus are hanging out together more often now:

Added this bella goby a few months ago, but it went right into hiding. I don't see it very often and when I do, it usually darts right back into it's burrow.

The reason the bella goby was out and about more recently is becuase I added some anthias - 2 bimaculatus and 1 fathead sunburst. One of the bimacs took over the goby's burrow. :tongue:

 

The anthias were hiding for about a week, but are now swimming around a little bit more, but mostly hang out in the bottom corner. I can't get over how colorful the bimacs are.

 

The borbonius anthias harasses them the most. They are intimidated by the other larger fish but those fish don't really bother the anthias.

 

I started out with 3 bimacs, but 1 didn't make it through QT. I have another one in QT now. I may be done stocking after that 3rd bimac.

 

Fathead sunburst:

How do you like the fathead? Did it come with the colors that vivid?

 

I see pics of them online with awesome colors.. like yours.. but when I see them in stores they are dull

Yes, it did come in with vivid colors. Although the colors really come out more in the DT lighting vs QT lighting. Maybe that's why they look dull in LFS lighting. But even in QT lighting, his colors were more vivid than some bartletts I had (but not as vivid as the bimacs).

 

He was really timid in QT and I hardly saw him until around the 4th week or so.

Added the 3rd bimac anthias:

They don't really hangout together, but caught a few pics with them together:

Added a juvenile male bluethroat trigger (thanks for the suggestion BowieReefer84!) Yellow margins on the fins haven't fully developed yet, but the blue throat is starting to come through:

Then added my last fish - a baby dogface puffer. Wanted to keep the theme going with a yellow belly dogface puffer, but after searching for one for several weeks with no luck, I came across this cute regular dogface puffer at Capital Aquarium and couldn't resist buying him. He does have some faint traces of yellow on him though ;) I think he's still a little stressed (dark) as he just made it out of QT and has only been in the DT for about a week. He looks much better when not stressed.

Even though these two are mellow and smaller than the bullies in the tank, nobody messes with them at all. It's like it's programmed into them to know not to mess with puffers and triggers.

Biggest bully of the tank.

Nonstop harassment of the goldflake and borbonius (who grew quite fast - maybe as a defense mechanism).

I have to be careful though. The other fish nip at my hands and fingers when they are in the tank. My trigger bit me the other day when I was petting the puffer:

FOWLR no more!

Did some major trimming in my reef tank today and decided to try them out in the FOWLR.

 

Butterflies were doing some serious nipping, but I think more out of curiosity, as they eventually stopped. I tried before with some small frammer frags, but they decimated those. I think with a larger colony, it spreads the nipping out until they get bored and stop. We'll see if this can last.

Isn't that the way it always goes!? The fish are all looking great, good thing I'm not jealous! (I'm really jealous)

Beautiful tank!!!!

I've had quite a few triggers bite me when I was on Guam. They seriously defend their nests!

I have a video of a larger one charging me while I was diving. Wonder where it went to!?
