Hey Sean,

I believe I have an id for you of the unknown chromis,

I have asked a user "Baradhel" on a different site (He is very clued up on Marine Life in local waters and has caught a few of these chromii for his tank) - he responded with this:

Baradhel said:
Blue-spotted Chromis, Chromis dasygenys. Very hard to find much info on the species because of it's very limited natural range (Inhaca - Durban). One notable thing is that it gets quite a bit larger than most other Chromis, 12cm. The ones I caught are only 1.5-2.5cm.

Chromis dasygenys, Blue-spotted chromis:

Here's the only decent pic I could find of a live adult:

The first part of the name sounds very familiar, but the 2nd part doesn't sound right.
 
Well done Sean!!!

You were right about it not being chromis, i just saw the pic of the Juvie and it looks similar, but not quite the same
 
wow sean not only does your tank look brilliant in FTS but there truely are some weird things in the tank or your sump. its the mantis, pompom, odd chromis (that isnt) which all spring to mind.

thanks for a truley great thread:)
 
Sorry guys, nothing new, worked on the tank the whole day and just took this pic, so not all the coral are open, but for me it is a damn nice pic, although I did do some editing. (Must like my tank as I just used this pic as a background...LoL):

Very nice, you'll have to keep an eye on that colt coral and make sure it doesn't shadow too much light from that anemone, that purple monti also looks to be in a bit of a shadow, you got too much in your tank :p
 
Thanks Dean, the Colt (it was a frag I got 02 months ago- look at him now) is moving around,so not staying over the nennie, will have a look at the monti.

Uhhhmm, I need more coral, but in the form of zoas and Rics, stuff that can overgrow the open rock spaces
