All I could get was this of my blue tang and candy canes/red shrooms. I kept getting photo-bombed by the Coral Beauty and the blenny...

Thanks guys for help getting this thread going here, Jozee try feeding your Acan with mysis then I bet you'll get some tighter shots of the two. Thomas great addition with the CBS, even have a large blue chested male in my 125g that I caught in Hawaii. See if you can get a front facing close-up showing off the blue chest. The antennae will also look like Rocket arcs from this point of view.


Cheers, Todd

Thank you, he is a charicter and fun to watch. He is extreamly hard to get a picture of but I will try. He loves to challenge anything, but when it dosen't run in terror he bravely runs away and hides in a rock. Since all the fish know this trick and the coral has yet to be afraid he spends most of the day hidden :tsk: He even trys to challenge the rocks :tsk:

All right! I bribed Napoleon (my coral banded shrimp) to come out and play - I actually got a great shot of him cleaning off his whisker.

Great pic of the coral banded. How did you get him to come out. Mine is such a scardy cat. He will come out and threaten just about anything, but when it dosen't run in terror he does.

Mine is a shrimp witha 'tude, hence the name... He is absolutely fearless and profiles on anything in the tank if it gets close ~

I fed the anemones, so I saved a piece of silverside for him and he came right out for it. It took some coaxing but he followed the tongs to the front of the tank.
