dispute (or any other kind, actually)
between the two. I realize many of
you aren't believing this. So to
the skeptics, the doubters, and the
just plain old fuddy-duddy's among
you, check THIS out! .
Apologies accepted. Oh!
One other thing: My "Kole-ish" Tang has finally been properly
identified.Go! It
is a Fine Lined Bristletooth
(thanks, Mike "Kahuna Tuna" Hahn). This fish is also identified in
Rudie H. Kuiter and Helmut Debelius' book, Surgeon fishes, Rabbitfishes
and
their Relatives p. 74. Another one down

Wrasse Go!
Wanna hear a saga? Okay, remember my female Hawaiian Flame Wrasse? Remember I
mentioned how I got her as a mate for my male Flame Wrasse who then summarily
jumped to his death awhile back? Remember I also told you the story of HER
subsequent disappearance only to discover, after nearly a month, hat she had
been holed up in one of my overflows? Well, finally I got her another male…which
of course meant a few days later she decides to kill herself! How? She actually
jumped THROUGH my eggcrate tank covering to bake herself to death under my
Halides. Now I ask you, what the hell must you be so afraid of that it could
make you do jump through a protective barrier to your death? Yeah, the Pseudo
didn't know either. But it gets better. I put out word that I needed
a new female Flame
Wrasse.
Then just a couple days ago, |

I
find the MALE on the floor, dead,
after having jumped through the
eggcrate. Needless to say, I
am done with Hawaiian Flame Wrasse
but I put a picture of the male
up anyway just to see what a
pair WOULD'VE looked like.
They're in the 'Other
Fishes I Have Known' sub-category,
by the way. Go! Speaking
of which:

Other
Fish Go!
The Cirrhilabrus sp. Wrasse has been properly identified as C. rhomboidalis
by John Cummings, Tom Berry and…um, "Al". |

Clams Go!
Both gone!!! Again, not dead but traded back to my LFS. The reason was
the need for real estate; both were being shaded out by corals and they
were really beginning to suffer. Clams are about the only reason I wish
I had a sand bed. But as it is, I was forced to place them high onto
my rockwork which made this event inevitable I suppose. |
Gorgonians Go!
Gone. Danged things. Never had any luck with them anyway. Maybe I'll
try one in the refug… nope, nope, forget I said that. Let's
move on. |
Misc. Go!
HISTORIC NEWS!!! The Mystery Worm has finally been identified!!! |
