It's just a sugar cube. Don't be afraid to amalgamate. We are your friends.

Awesome fish! (and you guys behave yourselves...)

yea so i would love to show u guys a picture of him in the reef but ive only seen him a total or 8 seconds, he can hide anywhere, and he does!

Just beautiful......

beautiful fish,,,lmao Rift lakes Rule

Chris, you're gonna have to set up 24/7 surveillance cameras on the tank so we can see more of this guy!!! Git Er Dun

I know nothing about captive salt water fish. Will he eventually get comfortable and come out of hiding or will covert observation be the only way we get to see this guy?

im hoping he will be out and about after a few days, however the longnose hawkfish (arthur) is bullying the poor lil guy around
