Dive into the World of Peach Anthias! 🐠🌊

These vibrant reef fish are full of surprises! Check out these fin-tastic facts:

Color-Changing Champions: 🌈 The Peach Anthias is a master of disguise! Females can transform into males if the dominant male disappears. Talk about adaptability! 💪
Reef Residents: 🏡 These beauties love the reef life! They're naturally found in shallow waters, adding a splash of color to their underwater neighborhood. 🐠
Foodie Fun: 😋 Carnivores at heart, they enjoy a varied diet of mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and even some high-quality flakes. Yum! 🍤
Dazzling Displays: ✨ Males show off with a bright red dorsal fin, while females sport a beautiful mix of yellowish-orange and lavender-white. Fashion icons of the sea! 💅
Group Dynamics: 🤝 They're social butterflies! A 125-gallon tank is perfect for a male and his harem of up to ten females. A single one can be happy in a 70 gallon tank.
Plankton Lovers: 🎉 These active fish are planktivores, meaning they love to munch on plankton. A refugium with copepods and amphipods is like a gourmet buffet for them! 🍽️

When Bali deliver🏝✈️,

They go all out!🐠🤩

Beautiful color, chunky and healty!

While we acclimated them to our system Coastal Beastie , they were fed some pellet foods to keep them busy in the buckets.🤿

Some friendly rival action between the Naso's and also Powderblues. All kinds of tail whipping and colors displaying!🥊🥊 as referee's🥋 we had to step in and also got wacked a few times.

We couldn't wait to get them in the tanks to shoot off some proper pictures.🖼 but none of them made a big splash about posing for pictures this way, so we took the chance.

We know it's unfair for us to have a great show without you,🎉🎉
Here are the pre-party highlights we had with your new best friend🤩🤩

Compatibility: Check out the chart for the deets! 🤓
Overview:

The Yasha White Ray Shrimp Goby (aka Yasha Haze Goby or Clown Shrimp Goby) is a rare gem! ✨ Its striking red and white striped body, majestic dorsal fin, and cool black patch under its jaw make it a true standout. Plus, those bright yellow fins? Absolutely mesmerizing! 🤩

This little dude has a super cool superpower: symbiotic partnerships! 🤝 It buddies up with pistol shrimp, acting as the lookout while the shrimp builds their shared burrow. Talk about teamwork! 👷‍♂️🐠

A 10-gallon tank with plenty of hiding spots is perfect for this goby. And a tight-fitting lid is a must – these guys are jumpers! 🚀 They're super peaceful and happy in small groups or solo. Add them to your reef tank (with gentle tank mates, of course!), and watch the magic happen! ✨

Pro Tip: Make this goby the first bottom-dweller in your tank so it can claim its territory. 👑 A fine sand bed and some loose coral rubble will make it feel right at home. 🏡

Hey Reefers!🫧🫧

We're overflowing with gratitude for all your incredible support this past year! It's been such a fantastic and exciting journey, and we've been so blessed with phenomenal growth.🐚🐚

It's amazing to think back to where we started – a cozy little 18 square meter shop! Then, just four months later, we were already bursting at the seams and moved to a 30 square meter space. And now, within our first year, we've expanded even further!
This incredible growth is all thanks to your amazing support, and it truly speaks volumes about the wonderful community we've built together.🐟🪸🐠

We deeply appreciate each and every one of you. You're the heart and soul of what we do! As the festive season approaches and you embark on your travels, we wish you a relaxing, safe, and joyful time.
We can't wait to see you all back, refreshed and ready for more reefing adventures!🦀🦐🪸🐟

Safe travels and happy reefing!
