TheClark Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Picked up this beautiful pink tail trigger from Ocean in a box this weekend! Such a cool fish, we call him the juggernaut as he is such a beast. Peaceful so far, gets along with the Sargassum Trigger well besides a skirmish the first night over sleeping quarters. Also picked up an arc-eye hawkfish, also very cool. He looks allot like this: Edited February 20, 2015 by theclark 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice snag That is really cool you noticed that. The fins are so clear, reminds me of a glass cat in freshwater. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClark Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 That hawk fish is pretty sick! Thanks Mike, my son spotted him and convinced me to give it a try. He sits on a giant montipora spongodes and stares me down most of the day. I call that 'personality' haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClark Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Great looking new fish! I don't think I have seen either one of them before. Thanks Steve, this is my first time seeing the arc eye hawk also. Been wanting a pink tail for a long time so this worked out good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah well, nothing to be jealous of but I do appreciate the compliment. Your beautiful orange lobo is doing good. I had a not so good period a while back and lost a few heads but it is recovering nicely. First frag has your name on it as promised!

vanz Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Nice! I just picked up a sargassum last week. Been wanting one again since I lost my first about 4 years ago. Are you going to add more triggers? How about the crosshatch? A pair would look sweet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like their eyes, the top where they are blue. A crosshatch would be cool, but I am going to lay low on acquisitions for a while. OIAB did have a beautiful blue cheek also that just came in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClark Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Wow, apparently triggers can pick up relatively large pieces of live rock, swim them to the top of the tank and drop them on other coral And once they get it on their mind, they cannot stop thinking about it.
