Lei trigger, Lunare, Naso feeding vid

[aquaknight]

So I was able to successfully introduce the Lei trigger into the 55gal. I used the egg crate you see hanging above the tank, and sectioned off bit of the tank for the Lei. Worked great for about 8 hours, then I came back and the trigger and lunare were on the same side, no damage done, so I figured they were fine together

, removed the egg crate and checked back about every half hour. Been good so far. My previous intro attempt about a year ago, went to crap at feeding time. The Lunare didn't want any part of the Lei having some of 'his' food, but as you can see, they're being very mild mannered now.
If you turn the speakers up a touch, I think I know why, listen to the trigger go to town on the shrimp. It's impressive.

The sound is their jaws, err, their teeth snapping together.
I don't name my fish, but "jackhammer" is strongly being considered lol...

How big are the Lunare and Trigger? Guessing about 6 inch each?

 

[aquaknight]

The trigger is a bit less then the from the palm of my hand to the finger tips, so 6.5", and the lunare is over by a bit, depending where you want to count the end of his pretty crescent-shaped tail, 7.5".

Guessing they are going into the 240 when it is up and running?
BTW did your bro every get that Woodhead Angel? They have another one in stock, same price too.

Yep, these guys along with the ones in the 60 (I have a thread down a couple in aggressive with pics) will be going into the 240. Probably not the White-tailed angel, since he likes to eat the spikes off of the Burrfish though.
No, he missed that first Woodhead. Sold just a bit after we talked. They had another one, probably the same still on there, but the difference was that the first one was a giant, I think they said 4.5". He wanted to form a pair with a small Heraldi that had locally. The new Woodhead is only 2" IIRC. But since the change of plans the 60 that we would have gone into is holding my fish, can't do it now.
R¢, thanks!
