    Thank you :) I was originally going to get another longnose, but I saw this little guy and decided on him. He's pretty quirky though, I think all hawkfish kinda have the same demeanor.

    Here's a little ricordea I ordered from mr. coral about a month ago. When I added it, it didn't take the ship very well. It immediately began to deteriorate slowly day by day, after it was in the tank. In a few wks, it was pretty much a small white blob, and I was pretty sure it wouldn't make it. So, I left in it just for the hell of it. About a week and a half ago, it started to bubble and color up.. Now it's really starting to take shape, the little mouths are forming and everything. I'm interested to see what it looks like once it's fully healed. It doesn't really look like the pic when I ordered it, but it still looks cool so far. Here's a recent pic.. You can see where it's still white toward the middle, with the bubbles forming around. I'll post another pic in a few weeks. Very interesting.
