Nice looking tank! You lucked out with Fragalot ordering that many in one go! Some of my nicest SPS are from Fragalot though, so there is something to be said there.

Can't explain it but will chalk it up to being a bad batch that Ocean City got in as these should have been the most hardy fish I have in my tank. Its too bad really because I loved how all 6 were swimming together in the middle of the tank.

Banggai are cool fish. They are awesome when they are schooling, but they will only do that if they are unpaired, immature, or are in really large tanks. Once they start pairing up they will get territories and stick to their mate instead of schooling because our tanks are too small. If the Banggai were wild-caught the die off is not unusual at all. Ask Ocean city if they were wild or captive bred. This is one of many reasons why Banggai should always be captive bred. The trouble is that Banggai make poor candidates for profitable breeding, so mostly just hobbyist breeders are breeding them.
