This is why I don't surf.
Thanks for the comments everyone.
Dawn - you are always welcome to stop by,
Liam - appreciate your observation very much. Also have 2 140W VHO URI actinics,
Gina - thank you.
Steve - that is a frogspawn. Been with me 6 years as of last fall. Grew out from a 3 head frag.
Stay tuned, I'm going to try and post some photos of Male/female/confused leopard wrasses.

Leopard wrasses
Ok - here is my first attempt at some fish photos. I know they are bad, but wanted to show the difference in male and female Leopard wrasses.
1st photo - female Macropharyngodon Bipartitus.
2nd photo - Male Macropharyngodon Bipartitus. Same species, promise. This pair came from Lourdes, and I saw them when they were both female or juvenile, and post morph. I have been told the entire transformation took just a few days. (Thanks Lou). Great photos available on page 144 of the Rudie Kutier wrasse book.
3rd photo - Female Macropharyngodon Negrosesis.
4th Photo - largest female transforming into a male. I acquired these 2 leopards and a third not in photo from Reefnroll. (Thanks Bec) All had roughly similar coloration. The largest began a transformation about 2 months ago. Unlike the Bipartitus' above, this transformation is much slower. Particularly after eating, the Maleish one gets a very pronounced coloration, with a white belly, green face, blue highlight on the anal fin.. (Almost exactly like picture J, on page 147 of the Rudie Kutier wrasse book. I can't sem to get a good photo because he's on the chase.
