R.I.P. My Red Coris Wrasse.

Well. It died. Kind of disappeared for a few days. Came out for a few hours, then became invisible for the last eighteen or so hours. My son's almost superhero vision caught his dead (but not rotting) carcass under a rock in the back of the tank. Good job son. I never would have seen it.

So, well, I am a little bummed about it. It was my favorite fishy. Now I have to move that rock. It has the anemone on it. When I move it, the clown is going to get very angry. And bite me. Again. And again. I am just now starting to feel her teeth.

So here it goes. Carcass extraction......2009.

 

I almost bought one ... I figured it would get to big for me. One of the most beautiful fish though.. Did yours have adult colors?

 

Yes it did. I looked for months for a juvi, but could not find one. Then came across my adult (just barely) and picked it up for $25, I think it was. I saw another one last weekend at the LFS for $50, but I don't think I will get it. I am leaning toward replacing it with an unusual Tang.

Ya got that right. My FOTM is going to be on the RCW. Maybe I can post a good pic of the not so rotting carcass as my example? OK, maybe not. Probably the only true still shot I would ever get from it though. That thing was alllllllways on the move. Bigtime. Thanks Casey.

 

I saw one half morphed at the LFS for $70. Sorry for the loss.
