One of my favourite fish, nice pics Tom

 

[Mekaeel]

i love those fish but beleive they jump,and my tank is open top,so staying away from it

 

[DragonReef]

Nice Tom, I also have one. Awesome fish !!!

 

[Mekaeel]

can anyone confirm that this fish is a jumper?

 

[Dober Man]

Most of them are jumpers Mekaeel, but obviously every fish is an individual, so maybe you can be lucky and not get a bungee hawk.

They do sometimes eat shrimps, so just keep an eye on that Tom.

 

[Mekaeel]

lol in my case i dont think its the individual fish,i need to put on a hood,most of my fish jump out

 

[Tom]

At the moment the Flame is too busy chasing the hawk around for him to even know there are shrimps lets hold fins hey.

Is that a colt coral? Looks massive.

 

[Tom]

The flame`s eye is still slightly swollen I think there might be scar tissue behind it and it will never come down, anyway it is as round as a ball .Can someone please help identify the coral I think it is a singularia maar ek wietie! so lekker nie.

 

[Mekaeel]

the coral is some kind of a finger leather,i think

 

[viper357]

I think the common name is a Colt Coral, a type of sinularia leather

 

[djmurray]

Ya its definitely a leather and looks like a colt

 

[Tom]

Our fishie is gone.. I think the overflow / pump got him so sad.

 

[Bob the (reef)builder]

It is a skinny Sinularia, some people call them Finger leathers.

Its not a Colt. Colt is the common name for Cladiella and sometimes Alcyonium, they're both much fluffier.

Oh Tom I just saw now, I sorry your little chap dissappeared.
