That is one spectacular fish! I think it's a Hamlet, or maybe a grouper. I found a photo of one on an Asian website, but the translation is something like an "embroidered butterfly"...

OK, I'll up the ante. $100 plus the 2.5" Orange Back now in my Observation Tank.

Would you take $100 cash for the Wrasse?

I got three fish from them this past Friday. I discovered an interesting fine print this time: 15% OFF $150 OR MORE and a higher tier for another amount. I was shorted on the Orange-Back Fairy Wrasse I received. I paid an extra $30 for one that was 3 to 4". I got one that was less than 3"...

Mark, Yesterday I added 3 new fish to my Observation Tank. I dipped them in the formalin and methylene blue dips, but there's no guarantee I've haven't infested the tank with anything. I'll withdraw my offer if I did. Bob

I made it there for the first time four weeks ago. I was looking for a Ritteri (after ripping out all my RBTAs), and my bot suggested I try them. I emailed, and got a big list of the RBTAs they had. I told them again I was looking for a Ritteri. The next day they emailed me saying they had...

Are you using a sulfur nitrate filter? They can trash Alk.

Any interest in an Arctica 1/3 HP Chiller? I paid $994.02 for it last June and used it for a whole 2 weeks. Here's the specs: https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/arctica-1-3-hp-chiller-115v-jbj/?searchid=9527945&search_query=Arctica+1%2F3+HP+Chiller We had an unusually early heatwave last June...

Wow, that's an impressive looking NJRC "Booth" you guys set up! Thank you for your efforts! I had conflicting shows today, and opted for the Reptile Show in White Plains, NY. Do any attendees of NJRC at the reef show care to brag about any great buys that you made at the reef show? I deserve...

I haven't seen a Red Pencil Urchin in a good 30 years. Anyone seen a live one lately?

I'm available Sunday afternoon for a pick-up. Please PM me with specifics.

I'd like to get into Tetraselmis chui production, now that I think I've finally mastered Nannochloropsis oculata production. Please PM me with your availability for picking up the algae...

I beg differ... One never has enough rock! (1) The more rock work you have, the more hidey-holes* you're giving your fish, which adds to their opportunity to retreat when threatened, thus adding to their sense of security in your tank, and thus adding to their health via less aggressive...

Mark, As the host of the meet, you're certainly welcome to them. I like them as dither fish in an observation tank as they're peaceful, eat anything (including nori) and are perfect for training a new fish on how and what to eat without being harassed by them. Bob
