    I lost a 6 line and a lawnmower blenny to jumping. I was very depressed about the lawnmower blenny. Such a cool fish. I've been lucky I guess since.

    np. So far so good and it's a lot cheaper than the mystery.

    Gobies and blennies are jumpers. He wasn't very colorful, but extremely personable.

    Oh, that's too bad! I'm sorry. I love lawnmower blennies. They are so cute - like little goblins.

    Yep. He slept in patches of zoanthids. Kind of funny. Little @#!$^* always bit me, though.

    I second the Radiant wrasse.

    Hahaha! That's cute. :)

    That one is really pretty, but it says reef compatible with caution...so I dunno about that one. A lot of wrasses say reef safe.

    I like these ones a lot: Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Hooded Fairy Wrasse
    Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Pink Margin Wrasse - Reef Safe Wrasses
    Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Red Tail Flasher Wrasse
    Conde's Fairy Wrasse

    YES! I love that fish. Do you know if they are easy to keep and etc?
    I looked at the video LA has of the red velvet, and the coloring is much duller...
