I bypassed the photo box, because he was in a bit of distress. He was caught in a fold in the bag. I don't know how long he was caught or out of water. The inside bag leaks past the clip and the bag becomes deflated. The anthias I ordered last time had the same issue.... there was one stuck in a fold. Me no happy. If he doesn't make it after we've been looking for him for so long, I'll be super ticked.
I started taking some pics last night with some low light. He's super paled out. I will work on some better quality pics this evening for ya.

So, that's my Yellow Spot Scorp! He's about 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 inch.

Yes, I'll send it to you tomorrow... hopefully I'll get a few others to go with it that are better. Just remember it's not super sharp when full size. That's the benefit of using the photo box.... sharper initial pics.
Ya, I just got back from buying ghost shrimp. But I've still been buying them because of the ambon. Gonna let them poop out what they were fed there, feed them some super great food, and then freeze about 1/2 of them. So I'll start feeding the live, then go to freshly dead to frozen/ thawed and hopefully onto PE mysis.
If that's a no go, I'll move onto the guppy route. The guppy route works better than the shrimp route 90% of the time.
I'm putting together something I would like for you to read. It's all about my little conversion techniques.
Did I tell you I bought an orange spot filefish? 1 month ago today and is now converted. She likes salmon as much as the rest of them. She was my biggest challenge (besides the ambon I guess... who I have seemed to have failed with. I'm going to try again when I convert this guy). But I pulled out all the stops for the filefish. I would sit there for like an hour under a towel peeking out a hole while getting dizzy on my own CO2, just to get a glimpse of them eating. She is now fatter than when I got her.... SCORE!!!

That fish is adorable!!
When I saw the first pic., I thought it was the yellow dwarf fuzzy! Did you get/are you going to be able to get that one??
Also, I'm trying to be very patient, but what about the Volitan???

Sorry, will continue to check other thread!

I'm still looking for the yellow fuzzy. I have every notified that I'm looking for one. If it's a female. Great. If it is male.... I'll have to give up the male I already have.

Sorry, thought someone had a line on one for you!! I'll keep a look out, but probably won't find one by me!!
