Just because I take things so literally. You probably didn't mean it, but its not responsible to flush a fish, return it to the LFS or another reefer with a fowlr tank.

And even though Jeremy noted he was only kidding (jk), it bears clarification. Do not release your charges into the gulf.

Look into a fish catcher. That's how I caught mine. The easiest thing ever. I put some food into it and he was the first one through.

You run led's right?

Did the tank that he came out of have led's on it? If not, I can almost guarantee you that's the problem. If he's not accustomed to them, you will need to turn them WAY down and very slowly acclimate him.

I would also evict the yellow tang. I can bring my fish trap to the swap for you to borrow, as long as you promise to ship it back to me once you are done with it. It's never taken me more than 20 minutes to catch any fish with it.

Is there any chance your clowns are trying to host the lobo? I've seen them kill a coral by continually harassing it.

I would never flush a fish that was still alive. But yes to clarify, I would never intentionaly kill a animal, and I would never in a million years release anything into the wild.

I have no idea what the tank it came out of was running. I doubt it was led since they are expensive and unproven long term and I bought it from someone who obviously sells for profit. ( Gonzo frags )

As for the clowns, No they are not harrasing anything except the nem. They love it and the only time they are more than 6 inchs away from their nem is when chasing a chromis that gets to close or bulldozing a shrimp trying to clean the nem out of their turf, or chasing a piece of mysis or pelet that caught their eye.


As for the coral, I suspect to much light. So, I moved it to the very edge of the tak in front of a little mountain i made. It doesn't block much of the LED's light but the coral is no longer directly under them as it was with previous placment, The move also put it in a lower flow area.

It's to early to say for sure but I checked on it several times today and it is actually inflated some. Can still see one or two protrusions of skeleton through the tissue but nothing like in my previous pictures.

Obviously at the time of this posting its well into the night cycle on the tank but I will snap a couple of pics if I can before I goto work tomorrow to show the improvment

Not sure if I will be able to make the swap. i really, really want to come. But it's 200 miles away from home and I don't get off work till 6 am the morning of the swap. But, if I can talk the wife into coming with to keep me awake I am going to try.
