I would like to buy a shirt. While we are in the discussion phase I suppose I would mention I would prefer it to be on any color shirt but white. I hate white T shirts.

I lost my leopard wrasse to jumping. I had an open backed canopy. It was very sad because I had him for about six months and he was very healthy and happy.

That's what they look like as adults. FWIW, I have never heard them called chromis, they are damsels. The Blue fin damsel is also known as the "black" damsel, because they turn black.
