New 450 gallon SPS tank

[acropora]

Thank you Reed, Neil. They are big at 12". I had them since they were 3.5". I use to have three but I sold one awhile back when it was only 8".

Here is a new addition,a Blue throat trigger.It has quickly become a favorite.

Kevin,

Did you mean "Reef Fish" litterally? Are they reef safe?

Chris

 

[acropora]

Chris,Yes they are Reef safe. He has been a model citizen. Kevin described his personality well.They are not overly aggressive and do not cause a comotion during feeding. At least towards other fish.They hover around and do not get involved with your Tangs,Corals or Clams. I was tempted to get a mated pair,but I went a little overboard with other tangs. When I can get my fish to pose for some shots, I'll post some other additions.Thanks Nikki,Mike and Kevin.

 

[acropora]

Not a great shot,but you can see he has company.

Hey great fish Anthony.
So are these recommended only for the largest tanks? How fast of a grower are they? Good score!

Thanks Anthony,

I am a Tang junky, but I like the looks of that fish for the new 450g


Kevin, do you get them in often?

Wow what a beauty. I have seen kevin's pair, and they are definitly a fine add. Great swimmers too.

 

[acropora]

Chris,I have a few tangs so I'm with you. It is nice to break it up with a Reef Fish that will get along with them. Scott, I only mention a larger tank because they usually come in at the 5-6" range, and they can use some room to swim.Of course the tangs need room also,so they are a great addition.

 

[kevinpo]

They are one of the smallest triggers reaching 7-8". Depending on the time of year they are usually available for around $32-46.

HTH,
Kevin

 

[Crows Ridge]

A pair of them works for me! The Niger looks like a candidate too

Great pictures of you tank an fish. Than you for shareing with us.

 

[acropora]

Thanks Matt.
In the picture below. You see two female Pink Square Spot Anthias which are both completely yellow in the photo.I also purchased a slightly larger male who has been chased by one of the two yellow females above. Consequently one of the females, who is pretty much full grown, is changing to a male. The current male has not been seen for a couple of days. I will post a picture of the new up and coming male as the change is more evident to the camera's eye.

Here is a picture of the early stages of the anthias sex change.

You can see the start of the pink square on the top yellow anthias.
