FlCandy Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 Woot!!!!!! Love the name I really need to name my critters As I said on FB...you definitely have the magic touch Thanks all credit goes to K she is just hilarious! And thanks again, I have pics the fish acclimated no issues and is swimming around not stressed at all. Totally the easiest acclimation I have one yet. Saw a Pinkbar Goby there was so tempted, I love their tails but not with the fire fish for now. Maybe later..... Link to comment

FlCandy Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 How big is the firefish? Mine was full grown when I got it. I've seen babies at my LFS, they are so cute. 2-3" so I think kind of close to being full grown. Link to comment

Thanks for dropping by! hows everything? cool, so so, working alot so not alot of time for much else, family is all good, and tank is just "....maintained"... lol Link to comment
FlCandy Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 cool, so so, working alot so not alot of time for much else, family is all good, and tank is just "....maintained"... lol Know the feeling . If the SPS at the bottom weren't still coloring up and encrusting I would be placing them today but I am so behind with house stuff and work stuff it's sad. So since they look better then they did last Monday when I put them in there they are staying for now. Link to comment

albertthiel Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Speedy Lightning Fire Such a handsome boy! Very. I want one!! Link to comment
FlCandy Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Very. I want one!! Thanks! He was 24.99 at the local LFS. I love living in FL for two reasons, the beach and the prices at the LFS. Link to comment
HVani Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 He looks awesome! Great price too! The LFS near me sells them for $45 Link to comment
FlCandy Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 He looks awesome! Great price too! The LFS near me sells them for $45 Thanks he is eating like a little piggy and isn't too worried about the damsel. And I definitely wouldn't have bought him if he had been that much. They had the helfrichi firefish for 69.99 but I am not paying that for a fish. Didn't for a single one and won't! All my fish came from either Tanks A Lot (Midas, Mandarin and Firefish) in Lake Worth or Ocean World Corals (Clowns, Damsel, Yasha and Pistol, cleaner) in Boynton Beach, Never had an issue with health or them not eating. Love the LFS I go to. Link to comment
gena Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Awe...Speedy!!!!! He is a handsome boy. Looks about the size mine was, maybe not quite as long. I forget what Joel named mine...Yanelli or something like that. They are such great fish!!!! Link to comment
HVani Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Yeah prices around here stink. But when I figure in shipping it's still cheaper to buy fish locally Link to comment

I forget what Joel named mine...Yanelli or something like that. They are such great fish!!!! Yeah he is not shy at all. Right at the front begging for food and biting the glass for the pods! Awesome fish. Yeah prices around here stink. But when I figure in shipping it's still cheaper to buy fish locally True! Shipping sucks! but at least the have an arrive alive guarantee no guarantee on local buys for me. Link to comment
gena Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Yeah he is not shy at all. Right at the front begging for food and biting the glass for the pods! Awesome fish. That's fantastic! Mine always hid, from the very beginning until the end. I think it was way too big for my size of tank. Link to comment
albertthiel Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Thanks! He was 24.99 at the local LFS. I love living in FL for two reasons, the beach and the prices at the LFS. Wow great price indeed ! I could not get for that here in GA. Link to comment
FlCandy Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 That's fantastic! Mine always hid, from the very beginning until the end. I think it was way too big for my size of tank. Yeah he is actually out right now even thought the fuge lights are off.... crazy fish! Wow great price indeed ! I could not get for that here in GA. Thanks! I have heard that a lot re my prices vs other states. Florida is good for a few things. Link to comment
FlCandy Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 Got something new again! This is squishy the Rock Flower Nem. This was taken with my iPhone about 10 minutes after placing him. If he likes it there that is probably where he is staying. Link to comment
gena Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Awe....I love squishy!!!!! I just got two (plus a baby) rock anemones myself. They are pretty awesome nems!!!! Link to comment
albertthiel Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Awe....I love squishy!!!!! I just got two (plus a baby) rock anemones myself. They are pretty awesome nems!!!! They are nice indeed, usually stay right where you put them and do not move around, like to bury partially in the sand but can inflict powerful stings to other corals and are not host anemones IME Link to comment
HVani Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Mine have hosted porcelain crabs Link to comment
FlCandy Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 Awe....I love squishy!!!!! I just got two (plus a baby) rock anemones myself. They are pretty awesome nems!!!! Thanks! I was mulling it over and decided why not. Glad I did. They are nice indeed, usually stay right where you put them and do not move around, like to bury partially in the sand but can inflict powerful stings to other corals and are not host anemones IME Yeah not worried about him hosing or not, and I put him by the froggie so they can be mean together. I get stung about once every time I am in the tank by him so I know how it goes with aggressive guys. Mine have hosted porcelain crabs Cool! Link to comment
gena Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Mine is hosting my sexy shrimp and I saw one of the clowns rubbing against one as well. The person I got them from said his clown is hosted by this variety...maybe there are different kinds. The ones I got are not sticky. Only the foot is sticky-ish. Link to comment
