FREE: pufferfish & two black urchins

ShagMan · Post by **ShagMan** » Thu Sep 02, 2004 8:12 pm

I recently had a macro die-out, due to the macro being moved around and blocking light too much, and some of it was eaten too... The culprits are the aforementioned creatures

They gotta go. I don't have pics, sorry. One of the urchins is LOOOOONG spined, the other is medium spined... I really like the long spined one, but urchins just plow stuff over too much.

Come and get 'em, or else they'll be my newest backyard ornament!

Jeff, I'd like to call dibbs on your next batch of macro please, I have none left except for some tenious feather that's held on.

Hey Josh... I'll take my urchin back if it's the same one... you know for sentimental value!

Poor puffer fish, no one wants him. Did the "pretty" one make it?

Take that puffer back to the gulf this weekend if no body wants him or see if rich will trade you something for him.

What kind of puffer is it. We are doing a fish only tank.

It's a dull, non-spikey pufferfish... I don't have a good description of it... he's nice, but skittish... he's about 3-4" long. I'll see if I can find something for ya... hang on.

OK, here's a few pics of the pufferfish, courtesy of jeff... he's pretty cool, he changes colors QUICKLY, and will bury himself almost completely in the sand when he's hiding.

I can get you a spiny puffer if you want one. They are very easy to catch. When are you going to have your fish only tank set up? I can get some very cool nonreef fish. I usually don't catch them because they are not reef safe but if people want fish for a fish only tank I can get some cool looking fish. for example, cowfish, barricuda(very small ones) angles, bur fish, filefish, butterflies, stingrays(small) to name a few.

We'll take him and one urchin. I've been up trying to catch a jubilee all night so I will get ahold of you later today about getting them if that works for you.

Yep, that works great, gimme a call!

Jeff's taking the loooong spined urchin, and Karen is getting the other urchin and pufferfish, so ALL GONE!

Thanks guys!

I love the eyes on puffers.

Me too, those blue eyes are killer!

Hey Karen if you head this way, you should stop by. Give me a call when you head this way.
