Good luck with the MI. I had one back in the 80s in my first fish only tank (not a fowlr since I didn't know what live rock was and you couldn't find live rock in the LFS anyways). Once acclimated and eating, I found mine to be very hardy. Only sold him off because I had to shut down my 110g and concentrate on my university studies
Thanks for the encouraging words. I'm gonna keep the egg crate there at least 10 days. Hopefully my tangs won't mind too much
