started my long walk down the reefing path...

...because I got these guys!!! (my wedding present!!!)


They're carpenter flasher wrasses...

Sorry for the low quality pics... I took them while they were in my scratched beyond all belief speciman containter...

When I get a FTS hopefully I can get some pics of them swimming... Right now the lights are off in the tank so I can't get any pics.

Had some help...

While doing the water change before putting in "The Brady Bunch" (she figured it would be easier to do a group name then try to name them indv) I had tons of help from my PITA kitten. She kept getting in the way. After I was all done she still wanted to help... I had to take the pics fast because she knew she was doing something wrong :D

Well the four wrasses were out and about today! They also ate like pigs... When I put them in at first they stupidly went into the home of my orchid dottyback and it was chasing them away. I put in the speciman container to try and keep the orchid dottyback in the spec container while the wrasses got used to the tank. But 3 of the wrasses went right into the container and I picked up the small rock that the 4th was in and they chilled there till this morning.

The orchid dottyback is leaving them all alone now so there seems to be peace. The orchid wasn't bitting them or being overly aggressive to them because the wrasses are bigger and it's 4 vs 1 :.

So here's the best pics I could get of them...
