    Thanks!! k+ He gave me a coral beauty too. That fish was getting picked on really bad in his tank so he is a little shy right now. hopefully he will recover and get pretty again.

    They are awesome fish and somewhat rare. I have only seen a couple in the few years I've been in the hobby. congrats.

    Awesome I did not know that. I guess my 15 gallon tank with stand was worth the trade. he gave me those fish, about 20lbs of live rock, 7 green mushrooms, 1 hairy mushroom, 2 leather corals and fragged a head off his hammerhead

    how big is your tank. ringtails get quite large and need a ton of room. (like most other tangs)

    Man that is a good score. And you traded your old tank for all that.

    It's a 75, I will find a bigger home for it as it gets bigger. She has a LOT more room in my tank then the other. He had lots of tangs in his 110 and filled to the top with rock. I won't be getting anymore fish for my tank either. I have 2 clowns, a goby, dottyback and the two he gave me. I also don't have it filled crazy with live rock.
