It very well could be Pholis Gunnellus in all of these locations. I've found distribution maps that say it occurs only in the Atlantic, and then others that show it occuring in the Pacific. I've caught 3 different species of gunnels here in Oregon, and of those 3 species I have found at least 10 different color or pattern morphs. Check out this link to fishbase.org to get more details on gunnels. http://www.fishbase.us/identificatio...p?genus=Pholis |

Everything reliable I've seen on Pholis gunnellus points to it being strictly North Atlantic in distribution. Also being in the southern part of it's range, temps in the mid to high 70's are too warm for the species to tolerate. There are however several Pholis species found on the Japanese coast, some of which to range far enough south to expect they would tolerate the temp range that Diver's Den suggests.

Update: I added two hermit crabs. Some Ulva is dying, two pieces are left. Went to Sandy Hook a week and a half ago to get some fish, all I caught whilst seining were killies (Fundulus heteroclitus) and silversides (M. menidia). I took two killies home, they're practically indestructible
The two killies stick to each other and I see them more and more each day, especially around feeding time. Some stray pieces of red/brown algae were floating around, I "planted" those in the sand bed, I'll see how those do :P I'm currently planning a dive trip in September with a friend, so there's another opportunity to collect stuff from the Shark River Inlet, which has more life than you'd expect (spider crabs, a few anemones, fish, fish fish, fish, loads of starfish, and sea urchins). I need more algae... I need new lights. Pholis from Maine, you say? http://www.gulfofme.com/proddetail.php?prod=LS2806 Mwahahaha! $20 a pop plus overnight shipping = a rather expensive fish buuut I may possibly be getting a northern red anemone (genus Urticina) so the shipping won't seem so outrageous http://www.gulfofme.com/proddetail.php?prod=LS2209-23 I need to read into these creatures more. As for the Japanese gunnel, the bioload would be INSANE (a 1 foot long fish (granted, eel-like)) in a 28 gallon? That doesn't fly As for plumose anemones, they're pretty and white and non-photosynthetic. You know what I'm thinking of doing on my next dive trip I'll do my best to keep you updated as to new livestock and my algae garden in the sand bed. |

I just saw this and yes, that^ was the link which made me seriously consider changing to temperate reef! I really loved the algae, but unfortunately not too much is left (browns, reds, and one piece of ulva are thriving). The fish are alive still but the tank is somewhat dull, only two small fish are there. I need to go collecting again -_-

Local Tank
Hello! Are you still collecting for a local tank? Ive had success with a local tank in the Brick/point area for about 5 years now. I just went out to the canal and scored some nice specimens! I have a 75 gal. bow front and am running an Aqua top 550 canister. I also built a protein skimmer that is very effective. I'd love to compare notes. email me at wsorren@live.com

Hit me up any time I keep a large temperate system with west coast species.
There is also a facebook group of temperate and coldwater keepers you should check out www.facebook.com/groups/coldwaterowners
