| Ever seen a green tort? Well,
this just might be one. It came to my attention through my LFS,who actually
CALLED me to inform me of its presence.Of course, this was about a week
and a half after it sat unsold in one of their display tanks. Now, in MY
defense, I was in California at the time so I had an alibi for not duly
trudging down to the stores on delivery day like a good reefer should.But
after it was tentatively ID'd (by Greg Schiemer), Jason at House of Fins
notified my service technician, Ray, who in turn contacted me in LA. And
through a series of phone calls and email imaging (I love email imaging),
we did the deal Soon
after I got home; I'd say the piece
had been in the tank about 10 days,
it began to bleach just a little at
the tips, somewhat symptomatic of 'light
shock'. Not only was this perplexing
because it had already been exposed
to fairly intense
lighting at the LFS but I (well, Ray
actually)placed it about midway the
tank where the levels were probably
LESS than before. Fortunately, as of
this writing, the color is finally
coming back and there was no die off
so apparently, things are going okay.
I certainly do hope so as this appears
to be a very unusual piece. |
