The male anthias keeps charging at the glass... it's beating his mouth up a little can't say I'm impressed. Can anyone tell me if that's normal? Will he calm down once the female's been in there a few days?

he's probably seeing his own reflection in that ridiculously clean glass of yours.....he has something to fight for now that the female is in there......thats my guess anyway....

I sorta liked loser pinky-pie vs this new macho pinky-pie

His name was Frank but my daughter made us change it up. Hell maybe that's his problem?

I had a male anthias do the same but he eventually broke his jaw and was rocking the slack jaw look. Eventually it died.

It'd take one hell of brightly lit room to be brighter! I'm hoping he calms down. Last I checked he does seem to be returning a bit to his older ways. The only casualties are his mouth and a big piece of my german blue digi which he must have run into. That coral is incredibly dense he must have a crazy headache right now.

Tank has a healthy dose of this sickly brown hair algae now in a few places... but literally only on the new rock I've pruchased. My rock from the 97g looks great and is spotless. Pretty interesting to me... the mature stuff is obviously not leeching nutrients like the other stuff.

I'm sure this is the same thing as admitting I should have cooked my rock but it should be under control pretty soon.

My anthias seems a bit calmer today. Now if only I could get the female to eat. She's certainly moving about the tank much more now.
