    Updated Pictures. I moved to a different city, so everything was packed up and moved. Stressed my corals a lot, but they're all back now after a few weeks of being in their new home.

    So far so good. He's a bit of an attention *****. He's a bit more than curious when my camera comes out and likes to hide in the chaeto with just his eyeballs sticking out watching his tank mates and any humans in the room.

    I talked to the LFS owner for a good 30-45 minutes about THIS fish. History, when he got it, diet, tank params, etc... Confident that I'll be able to keep him for a while. He's still a pod hunter but goes nuts over his shrimp.
