Typically, if you don't happen to match up any pictures with names on a forum such as this, zoaid.com is your best bet.

I just checked out that site, some of those zoas are absolutely AMAZING!!! the electric strawberries are so pretty, i would be willing to pay a pretty good amount for some of those.

love your AOG and super skittle aussie

Thanks. For some reason, I've had nothing but bad luck with my AOG's... This is my third frag of them. My first frag was lost in within the depths of my LR and the second died off in transport to me. I've got a good feeling about this one, though (third time's the charm, right?)

Just got my new McCosker's Flasher Wrasse on Friday. I spent a while in front of the tank trying to get a good pic of this guy, but geez is he fast! This is the best one I've gotten so far...

Nice wrasse
.Try turning off all the pumps in the tank so there is no flow and your wrasse should slow down enough for you to get a good pic. Thats the only way i can get decent pics of mine.

Yeah, I've been trying to calm him down for pics. For some reason, he's fine when I walk up.. He actually hangs out in the front of the tank above the frag rack for the most part, but as soon as I pull my camera up to take a picture, he takes off, lol.

I checked out google image to ensure it before I picked him up, but I didn't notice any differences. Thanks for pointing that out... I'll have to look into it more soon. The elongated dorsal fin means it's a male, right?
As for trades, I will definitely be contacting you

I'll be back in the 313 from June through August, so shipping won't be in the picture. I'm packing EVERYTHING up and bringing it home with me... It should be fun

Yea thats how my foxface acts right now as soon as he sees the camera he changes colors and goes to hide under the shelf in the tank...hopefully he will warm up to mr taking pics since he is the newest fish in the tank.

About thirty minutes ago, I made a very sad discovery. My new flasher was on the ground dried up!!!

I can't believe he got out! He managed to fly right through the egg crate covering the top of the tank!!!
Sigh... Back to the LFS I go

And I can't believe that is the only half-decent picture I have of the little flyer...

Why do the pretty ones always have to be so dumb...

i feel your pain..i lost a golden rhomboid..i was cleaning and he must have jumped when my back was turned..i found him about an hour later all dried up...i was not happy $400 gone like that...i will tell you that eggcrate is not the best for holding flashers in..the can and will fit through i lost a couple that way...it is good for larger fairys but if you can make a top out of some wire mesh that you get in the garden dept. at home depot or lowes..it works way better than eggcrate and i have not lost one fish since going to it..plus there is not much difference in the light coming trough as well...just a thought when you get back and we work out a trade i have some left over i could show you how i made my top and hook you up with the mesh...sorry to hear about your fish..it really sucks to see a fish go like that
