14.95 @ petco had to try and save him! He had a mild case of ick and our QT was empty so he came home with us.

My list of recuses:

2 condylactus anemones-both bleached.. and nuked my 55
1 sailfin tang-lived in the same 5 gallon tank as an ich invested niger trigger
1 yellow tang-had parasites sticking out of it's side.. lived with the trigger..
1 sally lightfoot crab-lived in the same tank as the same niger trigger.. lost in the anemone nuke..
2 scooter blennies-both starving.. oh yeah and lived with the trigger (I love how they say"do not mix with other fish" on the tag and everything is with it..)
A rock of zoanthids
A rock of ricordeas
Leather toadstool-looks and is pretty healthy but they had it for a year under no lighting.. boy was I surprised with his colors under new lighting! Instead of the ungly pale pink in the store.. he turned out to have neon green tipped polyps! #1 fav coral

and.. thats it as far as recused health wise.

the only fish I've rescued from PetCo is a Tomini Tang. He was nearly whit in color with little to no red/orange on his fins. I'm happy to say that he is now very healthy with a nice greyish brown color and bright orange fins!

I'll try and post a pick of him if I can ever get him to stop moving long enough for me to snap the picture lol
