He is a new addition to my tank. Very cool looking. I can't find a picture of one on line anywhere. well I found one but it did't have the color right. I hope he doesn't change when he gets larger. It basically has a blue body with orange spots all over it. From afar you can't see the color but up close you are like wow.
Anyone interested in a Teal samoensis about the size of a softball there is one at aquaworks. It is a stunning coral and that teal is just like bling. Unfortionatly its $110. If anyone buys it think of me... I'll give you some cash for a frag of it.

Well, I finally borrowed my daddy's camera and took some pretty decent pics. I'll let Drew decide which ones he likes and let him post them. As for the rabbitfish:

Keep in mind, I'm no professional photographer. Enjoy!

I like the first one better. They are both exactly what it looks like. You can't really tell the color from afar but get up close and you can see the blue with orange spots. Its an interesting addition to the tank. I'm afraid with how big he might get... key word is might. I don't think i've been feeding him enough. I've been hoping that he picks on some of the different algae on the rocks.

Well, he was swimming faster in the second one and I zoomed in a tad too much. We found out that he loves the camera though. He kept swimming in front of it and messing up my pictures.

That is a freaking awesome fish. I don't think I have ever seen one around here. Are they herbivores?

being a rabbitfish I am assuming so. He has been picking at a lot of different things and attacks the seaweed select. He also loves the freeze dried krill I put in. Basically he eats anything so far. He has been picking at a few different macros that started to sprout up.
