lduncan Posted February 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 It's once in a lifetime opportunity to get fish like this! They are awesome! The female is out and swimming like she owns the tank. She ate a couple of cocktail shrimp this morning. Had a nibble on my finger too when I was trying to place some coral. The male is a bit shy at the moment, locking himself in the rockwork with his trigger. He hasn't eaten anything yet, so hopefully over the next few days he comes out a bit more, and starts eating like the female. Layton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slappers Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 so they reef safe then where you get him from??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lduncan Posted February 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 so they reef safe then where you get him from??? Well, she has eaten a little green chromis in a couple of bites. She must have been hungry, I definitely wouldn't trust them around shrimp. They seem to leave snails alone, and don't go near corals. This genus are generally considered reef safe (it includes the blue throats, and sargassum triggers too) Layton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeBlog Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 I’ve just gotten back from lduncan’s to check out the new additions. They are absolutely amazing and certainly one of the most beautiful fish that I’ve ever seen (and probably the biggest marine fish!). All the pictures I’ve seen of the crosshatch have blown me away, but unbelievably the pictures don’t do them justice. Unfortunately, my wife would NEVER let me make that kind of expenditure on anything with a pulse. I’m just stoked that one of my mates did so that I can at least live vicariously.

lduncan Posted February 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 No, I'm doing renovations before I move in. The moment everyone's been waiting for, the pics. I've only been able to get pics of the female, the male colours are even more impressive. The males is now eating though, he's eaten two large cocktail shrimp which is a relief! He's still shy and hides in the rockwork, so haven't been able to get any sort of photo. Layton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookie extreme Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 wonder if the trigger will have a go at the urchin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lduncan Posted February 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 wonder if the trigger will have a go at the urchin. They don't seem to be too interested in the urchin. The Sohal is more interested in it, and tries to bite it's spines of quite regularly. The male is venturing out of the rock more often now, so might be able to get a photo up of him this week.
