    Decided to stop by our only LFS to see what was new and ended up buying a Royal Gramma. The little one is in hiding and hard to get a pic of. I will post a pic when it decides to show. The gramma did get a welcome from my chromis because it was in the chromis' sleeping spot. The chromis got the gramma to leave the spot and sort of rushed at the gramma and tail whacked it a few times. Nothing serious at all.

    I really love the colors, the checkerboard of scale colors in the transition area is awesome.

    Video of RG

    Here is a video of my RG in lieu of pics.;D
    YouTube - Royal Gramma1.avi

    Not bad for being in the tank for less than 24 hours. I'm pleased it has adjusted so quickly.

    Yeah, the Chromis is pushy but it doesn't get much closer than the video shows. It tries to tail slap my wrasse and Gramma not bite or head butt.

    Looks like the gramma is learning to stand his ground just fine.

    It isn't all that bad with the bickering. It doesn't last any longer than in the video. I think the Chromis likes to chase more than anything else.
