Thx Scott. Yeah he's a pretty small fish, but I just like the color. Trying to find some Parrot Wrasse & a Painted Wrasse.

Maybe if you made a small surfboard and stuck it in your sandbed it'll come out of hiding. really hope it didn't die, that'd be a bummer.

very cool..
it would Acropora millepora, millepora is the species..
i have a few of them, i like them..

as mentioned pocillipora sp. are usually pretty hardy. as for the A. millepora they are particularly fond of good lighting, strong indirect water flow, mature tanks, and needs proper calcium levels, and are usually not very tolerant of poor water quality, just like most Acropora sp.
