Recently I put Crosshatch Trigger in my SPS tank. Before putting him, I asked one of  the FO expert in korea Mr Jeon to quarantine him during the month. He is so kind to say OK and after a month later, I received him back.

You can see the info of crosshatch trigger

spsholic My Tank/My Fishes declivis butterfly

This fish is from Indonesia and also lives in deep sea like declivis and mitratus. They are known for reef safe but actually Soft,LPS safe. They pick the SPS's polyp and this burgess also follows them. My burgess is not big and smaller than other butterflies. (2.5 inches 6~7cm)

 
This picture is from Marinecenter. If you look at this carefully, You know My fish's body is more yellow than this picture (I do not know why, I will ask to RC expert about this http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showt ··· 15180625 )  From this thread, I found there is a local variance between burgess. My B is from Indonesia and Indonesian Burgess has yellow body. I like mine. but I prefer hawaiian B. So I will get another one from Hawaii. LOL

But I do not know my other butterflies except this as their friends or not. They show several aggressive motions to him like this.

But I want them to get along...

버지스 나비가 수입되었다는 얘기에 잠깐 고민을 하다가 구입을 하기로 했습니다. 원래는 팅커리를 먼저 넣으려고 했는데 역시 기회가 있을 때 먼저 구입하는 것이 후회가 없을 것이라 생각해서 였습니다. 생각보다 굉장히 작은 녀석입니다. 6~7센티정도밖에 보이지 않는데요..벌써 부터 견제가 대단합니다. 일단 적응통에 넣고 주말을 보낸 후에 상태를 보아 가면서 풀어줄 지 결정할 생각입니다. 먹이를 먹는 녀석을 보내주셨다고 하니 비싼 오토바이 퀵비가 아깝지 않습니다..약간 특이한 점은 흰색과 검은색으로만 이뤄졌을거라는 예상과 달리 바디가 노란색을 띄고 있습니다. 유어이기 때문에 그럴 수도 있을 것 같아 일단은 RC에 문의를 해보려고 합니다. 좋은 고기를 골라주신 재미난 수족관 사장님과 리프클럽 터틀님께 감사의 말씀 드리며...

잘 키우겠습니다~!!!

I have bad luck about Bartlett's Anthias. I lost female one and finally remained
the male one. If I have any chances, I will add some.
Poor boy...
결국에는 이녀석 혼자 남았다...나중에 기회가 된다면 몇마리 더 시도해보고 싶다.

This photo is Bartlett Male picture. If I have more, It would have  been more beautiful.

She is OK. She eats almost dry food, frozen food even SPS polyps. but it is absolutely lovely fish.

Update 2008/10/01

This my declivis butterfly pic taken yesterday.
She (I think it is female) eats every kind of dry and frozen food. but Unfortunately she pick all my SPS. but I think it is very natural for her. so I let her do this. :)

Not sure but LFS said tinker's butterfly will come soon. so I am thinking of buying it if possible.
