Christy has found them. That is exactly them. Um dont really know what to do? 6" is a little bigger than 2.5". Also my dad isnt allowing me to get the 127 gal from my uncle so the tang is going to have to wait. Well everything seems to not be going well with me. On the good side this will help me get the aquarium. Well I dont know what to do.

You could brick the fish store who sold... <paff> <bam> <sock>

Sorry, had to get my evil alter-ego under control there. Complain bitterly to the fish store that sold you them, never shop there again, and find someone who has the right setup for the fish.

My suggestion would be to add a whole bunch of live rock, and perhaps see if you can swap someone for some live sand. Thats how my tank became suitable for my manderine after only 6 months. Be careful of the other tanks inhabitants if you want to keep the manderine, some will compete for the same food. I had a 6 line wrasse who ate most of the copopods in my tank, but I have been fortunate that my manderine will eat mysis and krill when really hungry.

Bristleworms?

When my female mandarin arrived she was really hungry and I saw her eat a small bristleworm. Have never seen that since she moved into the big tank tho.

My mandarin ate some bristleworms. My puffers are doing fine, and out of all my fish they are the only ones who havent been sick. They were also the first saltwater fish I have ever had.

Good to hear they're the only ones who haven't been sick. You are able to correlate fish behaviour with general wellbeing quite well then?
