    Thanks Kristy/Mike! The mixed group was an experiment. I put a few polyps of about five different colonies in there and that was the result.

    I realized I hadn't taken an FTS well after I had put the camera away last night. I'll see if I can get one tonight.

    I'm afraid there will not be a FTS tonight. I was looking at my tank and getting ready for a top off when I noticed something in my sump that I couldn't believe I was seeing. In the back corner, behind the protein skimmer and partly under the heater was the firefish that dissapeared about three months ago! I thought surely he was dead, but lo and behold, he was sitting there very much alive.

    He looks very similar to an X-Ray fish after about three month of little to no food though. :( Right after I put him back into the display I realized I should have quarantined him so he could get some food ASAP, but he was under the rocks before I could even think about grabbing a net. All of my other fish took an immediate interest in him, so I killed the lights. Hence the reason for not getting any pics tonight. I hope the poor little guy can pull through, but he is terribly emaciated.

    Cool, no hurry. Glad you found the little dude. Good call on cutting the lights off.

    I was sure surprised to see him down there. I had written him off as a casualty weeks ago. I highly doubt he will survive though. He seemed pretty weak, but I'll do what I can for him.

    No, the purple firefish in my avatar is as healthy as ever. The one I rediscovered last night is a Nemateleotris magnifica.

    Well, no sign of the refugee today or yesterday, but I did get a couple FTS taken last night. This is the best of the bunch:

    I upload my pics to photobucket then use their IMG code.
