I have one that is out and about most of the day. It's a deep water fish and sometimes they don't acclimate well or eat. So make sure if you do get one that its eating and doesn't have any swimming problems.

he's hanging out around his cave all day, under his little coral umbrella.. hides when I walk by to look.. but my tank is behind my table, so I can turn around and see him chilling outside

just giving you guys a quick update. fish is doing great! I feed flakes and my own frozen recipe. it's not eating flakes yet, being very picky and only biting the frozen. Just a matter of time before he accidentally swallow some flakes.

it's out all the time now.. swimming and chilling.. not shy at all.

Great to hear! I got a sunburst from Coral Oasis at RAP. It's currently in QT and nibbling of ChefZilla's ChowDown. So hopefully it makes it through. Awesome fish for sure.

:top: awesome fish indeed! almost impossible to pass on after you see it.


nice tank, jealous of your nem mine is big but never bubbles.
thanks. if you want to give my nem's clone a try, I'll trade you for a couple small frags of anything.. lps, sps, zoa.. It's sitting right behind the main nem. he split about a month ago. foot is attached deep so it's reaching out. bubbles every day.

but i hear they are different in every tank. all 4 of my nems bubble..

I actually dont have much to trade, i neglected my tank a bit & lost some stuff.

But yeah i have read that sometimes they bubble & sometimes they just dont. Mine is big but ugly lol

Hey I saw the sunburst that you got! It was in one of the wide square tanks at the Coral Oasis booth right?
I also have one in QT. Crossing my fingers throughout the whole process.. but she's eating well, accepting spirulina brine and mysis shrimp. Are you going to treat yours with ICH medication? I'm kind of on the edge about that because I hear they are a bit delicate.

beside hard to get eating, I don't see any other difference between this and other anthias.. I did a 12 day tank transfer and tossed it in.

Yeap. It was from Coral Oasis. I wish I had gotten the second one too, but they sold out. Mine is eating well too. I'm not planning to do any copper treatment. It looks relatively healthy and besides, Ich is already in my tank.
