[Jan]

are the orange spot blennys considered reef safe? And are they of the eyelash variety?

Also,

how blue are the blue millis? Royal blue? Any more info. on these?

The ORA Blue Millepora are a 3 on a scale of 1-5 right now, but I have seen them turn into a 5. I also have some $29.99 Blue Millepora from a different source that I would rate a 4.

The Blenny is reef safe. If you have Scott Michael's Reef Aquarium Fishes Pocket Guide there is a picture of it on page 301. Blenniella chrysospilos. This fish will sell quickly and I cannot hold it for more than one business day. Its $49.99.

Thanks,
Cy

[declivis]

just a quick edit, for some stuff that sold the last few days............

all 4 flame banded pipefish
purple tang
both tiger pistols
all 4 tiny blue tangs

that being said..............all you nano keepers out there really should see the green band gobies. these have been one of my favorite gobies for a couple years now. the combo of two shades of green with a red stripe through each eye on a tan head is just really neat. plus if any of you keep diadem sea urchins(longspine urchins) they will actually hang out within the spines.

we also brought in a latern bass..........another very cool little fish. they are alot like a chalk bass. color is a kinda red/tan/yellow mottled pattern. they are a benthic(bottom dwelling) fish and do appreciate some rubble or caves to hang out in.

one last thing......the juv. chevron tang is also really, really nice. he's about 2.5-3" with perfect fins and great color.
