did you check your overflow and sump maybe he wanted to take a trip down stream
I've had that happen a time or 2
Got them both from Andrew (BAM) for a very good price. He's got plenty.
Yep. Kinda hoping the brownish color will turn pink, blue, or green. That sounds like a nice looking acro though. I had a pink pocillopora that had areas of bright green.Either way, lighting can change color just like you said. The odd encrusting acro I got from the divers den is an example. When I acclimated it, it went from maroon with green polyps to green with green polyps. Changed the optics of the radions to the wide angel tir lenses, maroon with green polyps.
Funny though...pink milli is still green.

Made a short video of the tank today. Not sure why but the video editor kinda zoomed in on everything a little. Here's the link.

My thoughts "live" as I watch the video...
I love the Rainford's Goby, isn't he cute?!? I love how one of your clowns just shoved their face into the host coral and basically didn't move a muscle for a little while-kind of like he was saying "K, I'm done!"
OMG, look at that Red Scooter Dragonette (correct name?), the colors are amazing! And the Dottyback too. Is he well behaved? I had a Diadem once who minded himself because he was in a tank with a Blue Hippo Tang and Niger Triggerfish .
Is that an Orchid Dottyback?
Thank you! They are actually a pair of ruby red dragonets. Alot rarer, a pricier than the red scooters. They also stay very small. I absolutely love those guys. The clowns are silly when it comes to their trachy coral. They dive into it all the time, the coral never seems to mind surprisingly! The rainfordi goby is my newest fish and yea he is a cute little booger. Always sandsifting, or laying down in the sand. Very interesting fish indeed. Also yes that is an orchid dottyback. He has been mysteriously missing for about a week now. No sign of him anywhere. He was very well behaved and one on my personal favorites. There never was a day I didn't see him, so I'm pretty sure he died somehow. He was always healthy which is why I'm baffled. I will be getting another one of those guys. Absolutely stunning color.
