Yup...it's there. I'll take a pic of it.

Wow! Awesome fish. I wish I had a friend named Ed!

 

[gimmito]

Ed aka Dr. Doolittle is my boy since I've joined BAR. That's what the hobby should be all about...sharing corals, fish, gear, etc.

Hahaha, that's silly!

John...I released the wrasse last night, he looked a little stressed in the acclimate box. He ate some mysis shrimp this morning and picking at the rocks.

Thanks for the update, Jim! I'm thinking of getting a Melanarus too because I think at some point in time it'll be inevitable that I'll get flatworms. However, I wonder if having him in a 40B would be a problem.

You should have no problem if he's the only wrasse in the forty.

Yeah, he would be when I get a wrasse.

Here's a pic of the crocea clam Arnold.

 

[Apon]

big crocea...does the mantle expand out more than that?

 

[gimmito]

Yes...a fish swam by it and closed up for the pic.

Hey Jim,

Thanks for your help the other day.

I must be crazy thinking to start a reef tank with zero experience with fish tanks in general. but hey..life is crazy and what's the fun if you don't do what seems impossible once in a while. But this is the craziest thing I will do since I got married.

So will start a thread soon.
