Getting along... Picasso clowns....


I'm one lucky reefer to own this pair... the female I've had for about 5 months (07-26-08) and the male I've had for about a month (11-19-08)... the female is an ORA Grade A Picasso and the male was raised by a breeder... I originally had a pair of ORA Grade A's but decided to upgrade the male with the Snowcasso (liked him better coz of the white markings)... in the beginning, they didn't get along too well but after a week, they finally got along... here's pics to prove it... LoLz.. I hope to keep these guys for a while, until they develop their full coloration...

most wanted zoas Right Now... Purple Hornets!!!



there have been a lot of discussion on different boards about these zoas... one thing that catches your eye when you see them is the yellow ring and alternating colored skirts... I'm still not sure where I got mine but I've had them for a few years now... they have been through a few tank changes... they seem to lose their vibrant colors when newly moved but after a few weeks, they color back up... I have mine located near the bottom of the tank receiving random flow from the Vortech MP40... I find that these zoas take a while to settle before sprouting new babies... but when they do sprout new babies, they sprout 2 or 3 at a time... til the next write up...
