    love your wrasses! evolved performed voodoo on me and got me to buy 2! Sadly one didn't make it, but oddly the cooler one did. I'm 5hitting a brick about a $60 wrasse let alone a $200. That thing is COOL though. love the leo[ard too.

    LOL. ;)

    Awesome pic man. I hope so. he's a bit dull in the yellow/gold margins like you told me he would be when I called, so fortunately I was prepared. My girlfriend however was not so excited when I told her it was 200 bucks... Haha.

    There's nothing new to post! I have run out of room, so I need to get a new bigger tank going. LOL

    Thanks Kacy!

    LOL Hunter can do that to you. I was freaking out when I bought that fish but after talking to him for a bit I felt more comfortable than when I had my cheaper fish.

    Major bummer about your loss! Was it a LA order? Or through DD?

    Thanks for the kind words, I do love my leopards! I am totally torn between adding a flasher and a couple other of the rarer fairies, or hunting down some more leopard wrasses (male meleagris, kuiter's, 1 offs from the wholesaler) with a new build... Well see...

    Ah bummer, I would have been less surprised if it was just a LA fish. At least you get the customer service to get yourself covered.

    Bummer on the crushed coral, that certainly puts a damper on wrasses that need a sand bed. On a good note, up the flow in that thing like it's hurricane season and add a ton of SPS:cheesy:

    Well sadly, a very expensive frag fell down behind some rock in my reef. In an attempt to grab it, I ended up collapsing the rockwork...:( So complete rebuild is in order! LOL

    Pics to come.

    Ah that sucks! Did anything get crushed, or do you just need to do a little remodeling?

    Nothin was crushed, I slowed the collapse by hand, but it was not repairable so I am ginns end up rescaping the rock and re gluing broken frags
