    Well... I was extremely stressed today at work :angry:.

    Until I received a call from my LFS. They called to let me know that they received a shipment with 2 borbonius anthias. I was all of a sudden stress free :).

    I have been waiting for quite some time for my lfs to get these guys again. Theye had em in the past and was in awe over the coolness they possess. But never felt the need to drop crazy dollars on a fish. Well that attitude has passed me by and I now feel this fish is worth every dollar.

    So I placed my deposit on the fish. Its new in the LFS system so want it to settle for 5 days or so and eat. This weekend plan on picking it up.

    If you are unaware of this species please google Borbonius Anthias :)

    They are rare and hard to come by.

    Heres a vid off youtube. Ill post some cool pics of mine when hes in my tank this weekend ;D
