BlueAbyss Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Beautiful tank man. Gorgs are intense... hope it does well for you! Any idea on the ID? Link to comment
mew Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Thanks for the good words guys. :happy: Beautiful tank man. Gorgs are intense... hope it does well for you! Any idea on the ID? I've never had any problems with keeping gorgs, and I try to avoid ones I know I might have trouble keeping. Normally no harder than keeping SPS, with the photosynthetic ones. As for ID, hard to say. LiveAquaria labelled it only as "Gorgonia sp." with a description of "West African Yellow photosynthetic sea fan with purple polyps." I certainly never saw one like this before. If anyone has any input as to what they think this could be, feel free to chime in! I'm probably going to open it up to the other forum too. Link to comment
reefer413 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 you're wrong about the species of wrasse you have. it's actually a pink streaked wrasse or pseudocheilinops ataenia. very cool fish either way, i love mine... just letting you know Link to comment

But its common name is both pink streaked wrasse and cryptic (sixline) wrasse. might also be called pelvic spot wrasse, i think. thanks for correcting me! Link to comment

mew Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 I finally got a shot of that cryptic wrasse! Ok, it was an accidental shot. But you can kind of see him in the background. It's really hard to photograph him. By the time I come back with a camera, he's invisible. Here's a partial top-down shot for this update (I need a camera box ) Link to comment
mew Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 Things have happened to my tank, as you might have noticed. Mysterious vanishing picassos, livestock loss in the winter break move, light change, moving of some livestock to my other tank, evap/light issues while I was busy with school, etc. I also decided that not sumping this tank was ridiculously complicating my life, so I sumped it. HOB for now, but I think it will be drilled soon enough. Upgraded skimmer to octopus dnw-110. I think that about sums up the last four months of this tank. That said, a picture of my tank before I leave for spring break. Stay safe, tank! Link to comment

nikeSB Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 dude i hear what you mean about taking a picture of a cryptic wrasse, hard as hell. heres the pic i was able to capture of mine Link to comment
mew Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 nice pic of your cryptic! i finally grabbed a (crappy) one of mine too! it was sleeping. It normally sleeps in a cave on the other side of the tank, but I noticed it sleeping in the open near the back of my tank one night! So I turned the light on and it didn't budge a muscle. Deep sleepers, cryptics are. (And yes, my purple deaths are brown deaths. ) Link to comment
