Phoenix: Flame Angel

Phoenix the Flame Angel Centropyge loricula
Kaizen Reef name: Phoenix
Common name:Flame Angel
Scientific name: Centropyge loricula

Physical description: Brilliantly coloured red with a hint of orange (hence the ‘flame’) with dark bands on the body and bright blue towards the caudal fin.

Distribution: Reefs in the South Pacific, Indonesia, Australia, and have been seen in the Hawaiian Islands.

Diet: Omnivourous. Prefers plant based foods but will also accept finely chopped meaty foods like brine shrimp and mysis shrimp.

Important dates: 1/23/10 added to reef

Personal notes: Lots of information out there says that this fish should be the last fish added to a tank as they tend to become quite territorial. So far Phoenix has been quite shy yet amicable towards her tankmates.

Muddy: Lawnmower Blenny

Muddy Lawnmower Blenny Salarias fasciatusKaizen Reef name:Muddy
Common name:Lawnmower Blenny
Scientific name:Salarias fasciatus

Physical description:Contrary to most available information regarding lawnmower blennies, Muddy changes his colours frequently within a wide spectrum of tans and browns and is sometimes striped. A large dorsal fin extends the length of his body. His eyes are adorned with light blue spots and delicate antler-like projections called cirri. He spends most of the day eating microalgae off the rocks.

Distribution:Indo-Pacific

Diet:Algae. Prefers microalgae but also eats the green off some macroalgae.

Important dates: 1/23/10 – added to reef

Personal notes: Muddy lives up to the name of his species by mowing algae from the live rocks all day long with his comb teeth. He was named after Muddy Mudskipper from the Ren and Stimpy show because he looks kind of like him despite not being an actual mudskipper.
