I picked him up at crossroads mall. Thay do not know jakes&&^%% about fish there. Make sure you know what youre looking for when you go in there. (DO NOT BUY CORALS FROM THERE) The coral tank is full of pest LOL

They have gotten alittle bit better since I was there last time. They were actually aclimating a green mandarin when I was there, it might have been yours. They already had one in their tank, two all together. No pics tho?

He is still hiding

did you stop at pet-co next to the mall? I've had better luck there than at the mall, becouse you are right they dont know a whole lot about salt water. ive been going there since 1996.

The petco is alright, but they are still a petco. I went there the same day I went to the mall and the mall had better fish than petco, kinda sad.

Get any pictures?

I will post some tomorrow he is out and about now.

Cool. I have a question. Can you see pods with the naked eye and what do they look like?

Yeah they vary in size, some are really tiny little dots and others just look like mini shrimp, usually clearish white/tan, check your glass in the morning, especially if there's any algea on there, they will be eating it. In my black sand tank you can see them running across the bottom. There's really huge ones in the ocean that look like giant cockroaches.
