Acclimation is often slow; your specimen may hide for a week or more before you even catch a glimpse of it. However, in time it will usually come out of hiding, accept live and prepared foods. These fish may behave aggressively toward other zooplankton feeders. Provide clean, well oxygenated water, along with plenty of water movement and open swimming space.

Range in Nature Indo-Pacific
Minimum Aquarium Size 55
Diet and Feeding Carnivorous, feeds on zooplankton. Feed mysid shrimp and vitamin-enriched brine shrimp at least three times a day
Ease of Care(5=easy, 1=difficult)

Orange one is a Girabaldi Damsel, California state fish. Those go for $100+ around here. And they don't even come from California, they come from Mexico.
Its illegal to have a Giribaldi in California.

What are the two fish in the first group of pics? Is that an egg nest? Beautiful fish, and great camera work.

Those are mullets. I was over at Bay's house last weekend and they are pretty cool. I always used them for bait when I went to the coast fishing.
In the picture they are spitting out sand. They suck up sand and then spit it out. That is how they feed...
