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 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
