I saw it! It's beautiful dood... truely a nice fat vibrant coloured specimen. I was so excited when I saw it, I was hoping someone I knew would snap it up.
TR... can you snap a pic of the one at the LFS?
IbanEz... that one is a male... maybe T's is a female.
Ask away anything you want to know.... I can share what I've seen/experienced. There's not a bunch out there about these guys, but they have the same care of the rest of my scorps. We've had our pair for a bit now. You can share all your observations too!
Yay! A red fin friend!

Awesome, that is my baby alright. How did you get that anyways. I couldn't find it.
Have you had any breeding behavior with the male/female? So are they easy to wean? Will I need to set up a weaning basket? I have some new arrivals in qt going through hypo, will that be a problem to acclimate it to hypo, if so I can qt it in my five gallon or my 10 gallon. What is the best food for weaning them. stuffed silversides or peices of shrimp, or frozen mysis or what. I am ordering a buch of feeder shrimp too. How bad is there venom if you get stung?

You have to be careful when removing watermarks from pictures owned from a business posted on their site... seriously. Besides being illegal, it's not cool. It's one thing I'm a stickler on. I give credit when credit is do, do not photoshop others work without permission and never use what isn't mine to use. I know... I know... I'm a party pooper.
The male and the female are still not together. She arrived twice as small and still would get eaten up in the 60g tank. She's packed on some size recently, but not enough. If she remains on the smaller side, she may never see the 60g at all.
Sometimes I use guppy fry for training small fish. They are a good size and you can offer them live in a net at first. I can go into detail about that if you were interested in going that route. Right now I have a small Coral Croucher that I am training with large live amphipods. It's one of the bennies of having multiple tanks with sump socks... I just change them out and pick out the pods to feed that day.
They are going to be too small for stuffed silversides. I cut up small pieces of whatever is on the menu for them that night. Neither were that hard to train. I'm gonna warn ya that if you order ghosties online, they may be way too big.
The venom is worse that a lionfish. If you get "hit", you'll know it in short order. It won't kill ya (unless you are allergic to it... as with anything. Peanut butter sandwich for one person... deadly nutty buddy to another).

Cran is correct, rather untasteful move on my part. I edited the pic just enough for courtesy of SWF, trying to find a happy medium. IbanEz, the removed pic in your PM box.

I feel like a bummer. But the girl who takes those pictures isn't even allowed to post them anywhere. She has to leave the camera at the door. I would cry.

Ya I am excited, Hey, how about the question I had about qt. Should I introduce it to the 55 gallon doing hypo or 5 gallon reef tank with no fish, or the 10 gallon reef tank??
What's in the 10g reef?
What's in hypo?

Small fp clown and purple firefish, small lawnmower in the 10. 55 hypo coral beauty, flame hawk, small regal tang, blue spotted jaw fish. The coral beauty had a little ick from shipping stress. 90 gallon only has the six line wrasse I cant catch and the zebra lion which is in the weaning basket and neither have any appearance of ick.

Ideally a tank by himself for QT, but that 5g is not going to cut it. The bioload on that 10g is already maxed, but that's the best tank. 5g is pretty small. I wouldn't put them in with hypo. This red fin has been coppered and QT'd for 2 weeks... he's pretty cootie free in that regard. Ideally a tank by himself, but the tankmates in the 10g aren't too aggressive, are they?
He's probably gonna be smaller than you think he is.
