Candy Basslet coming today supposedly, those are always fun to see.

They went like 4 days in a row with the yasha/shrimp combo, and when I decided it was fate to get it, next day no more, I will keep watching though.

It's only a single. LFS here had a small pair for the same price a few weeks ago. Unfortunately I'm out of space for anemonefish.

Yup - $180 each. They went quick too - so did the adult.

Why do people snatch up the juvi's so quick?

soulpatch · 02/23/2017, 05:42 PM

I think because you rarely ever see juvis and it's interesting to watch the color morph

True but who wants an indo tusk.... the development of the blues and deep orange in the Australian should be awesome to watch

That's exactly why Aussie Tusks are much pricier

They're even better to see when diving! 10/10 highly recommended

Come on! Nobody wants to pay $2,800 for the most drab pair of wrasses ever?!

d-man · 02/23/2017, 08:00 PM

They are actually pretty nice in person. The males have a beautiful iridescence and their head gets a solid orange coloration. The females aren't all that great but trust the males really are a nice site

d-man · 02/23/2017, 08:02 PM

But I wouldn't pay that much for them, no way, no how

soulpatch · 02/24/2017, 09:58 AM

I knew juvi would be small but darn. Gonna be cool to watch him grow.

No he isnt deas. Just typical tusk behavior and he is swimming around in his qt tank now as ttm is occuring

Wow, the website really made it look bigger...

Enjoy the fish!

Reef908 · 02/24/2017, 01:11 PM

I may need to grab one of these juvi tusks. An Aussie tusk is one of the reasons I went with marine aquarium. I saw an adult in an lfs way back when and dreamed of having one. Yesterday's was 1.5" and 2" I think. Anyone know how quickly they grow? What I have read in past research and heard from lfs is that they are slow growers. I already saved up for the upgrade to the 180 (or more) once out of the apartment and have a 35 long that could be all his for the next year or so. My gf thinks I am bonkers that I am looking to move to support a larger tank lol but I need it with my regal and purple tang!

Edit: and I said the 35 gallon tank for himself due to my concern for already having 4 wrasses in the 75...

OrionN · 02/24/2017, 01:36 PM

Feed them well and Harlequin Tusk grow fast, my 2 inches to adult color over 4 inches in 6-8 months. I often stand on a ladder top of my aquarium and hand feed him bits of fish almost daily. Mine would gore himself on various sea food. Size of the tank may mater. Mine was in a 320 gal tank.
There are two more Juli Australian today and one adult today again

OrionN · 02/24/2017, 01:45 PM

My Indo-Pacific Tusk 5 months about 1.5 inches longer. Color of Australia vs Indo-Pacific isn't all that much different. Size and health mater more in term of coloration of the fish, IMO.

Reef908 · 02/24/2017, 02:46 PM

Great fish! Yeah I'll try for one today. A 2" fish even double size will work out I think short term. I'm more than ok rehoming a few wrasses if needed to (minus pintail) to make room for a husk that's outgrowing the temp tank.

What's the long bodied fish huddled with the anthias trio? You didn't pick up an orange spotted blenny that I've seen on the site by any chance? If so, details on his condition!

soulpatch · 02/25/2017, 06:46 AM

No that is a generic tailspot blenny

Generic yes, but not in personality

Oh I know which is why I got another. I lost my one in tank upgrade. He used to sit in my hand as I would clean the tank or move things around. Awesome fish.

But they are pretty darn common hence the generic comment...

There's been mention in other threads about that genus of blenny nipping corals, while trying to nip algae. How have yours been?

soulpatch · 02/28/2017, 08:14 AM

Never had any issues with my last one so shall see how this one does.
