Well, our 3 must be settling in quite nicely then, wow do they rearrange!!! I think I told you all that we had to close off a couple of areas so the undulated wouldn't harrass the pink tail? Well, just forget that. Every day we come home and there is another rock, sometimes rather large, that is in another spot. Man are they comical to watch. We got some goodies, spotted mushroom coral and button polyps, with our Marshal rock rubble, and we have had a few close calls with their rearranging and smashing them. They don't bother them, biting an whatnot, just moving rocks, and they land on the polyps.
Anyway, all is well with them, and what antics they provide. Got to love these fish.
The pinktail and I are buddies. He comes up to the glass and lets me pet him through the glass, so cool.
The undulated is still a little hesitant when anyone comes up to the glass, she goes into hiding. She is a "Spaz", hence her name. Chickens*it, really! Nothing bothers the pinktail or piccaso. Weird, but soooooooo much fun. Oh yeah, the undulated is still doing the nocturnal thing.
4916...just sit back and enjoy! Peace :happyfish
