Seahorse and scorps and shrimp, Oh My!!

[cranberry]

Saw this fish listed as the Sebastapistes cyanostigma. It was a WYSIWYG so I knew what I was getting upfront. I'm not 100% sure of their ID so I bought it out of curiosity... and that I like him, of course. I'll crack open the books later and try to match him up. He'snot very happy, of course, and is paled out from his travels.

LOL...My red spotted sand perch ....perch's on a rock and moves his eyes whereever you go...sometimes the eyes move in different directions

This is the QT tank they are both in now. I never have FTS but I just snapped one while I was there taking pics of the fish. They love their macro and there's lots of little areas for them to hide in there. The ulva was brought in by snails... we have to prune it like crazy. Where there's ulva... there's a snail.

wow amazing additions cranberry!

 

[cranberry]

Thanks!

 

[salt life]

kinda looks like a red barbfish (Scorpaena brasiliensis), just my guess...

 

[salt life]

maybe even a Scorpeana onaria... all the pics on google look to be adults but they share the same characteristics as your babies...

 

[cranberry]

Ya, the red guy is a brasiliensis the other guy we are discussing being Sebastapistes strongia... sorry to have you searching around like that. I hadn't realized I had left it so vague.
