Stopped by shipwreck cove yesterday, shop is looking really good, and found what had to be one of the healthiest looking Hawaiian cleaner wrasses I've seen, and it wasn't like $60!!!! So had to grab that, and then the mrs. saw a purple queen anthias that she decided she had to have. Goegeous fish!!! Thanks a lot Dan!!! Hard to get pics so here's a little vid (don't mind the red carpet, yesterday was chemiclean day). Also a Mexican rainbow wrasse I got from Carmel mtn petco a few days ago.

Nice score, if its eating already then you've got an awesome chance of keeping a very hard to keep fish. I'm crossing my fingers. He was out this morning but has since retreated for the day. Not sure if he likes the lights. Now to get my purple queen anthias eating, the fish is so sweet!!!! Probably gonna go get another male/female pair and have a trio. Gotta thank Dan again for such awesome fish.

Picked up some cyclopeeze at ASD today after reading that is most likely to get a queen anthias to eat, and first try she's going for it! :) stoked. Thanks again Dan at shipwreck cove for such an awesome and healthy fish.
