If your stuck for a home for him Lance he could go in my 120 with the yellow tang (Doofus would kill him in my big tank).

It is less then ideal because although he sounds like he is the same size or bigger then my yellow I would imagine he would be in for some hazing for a few days.....

I think he'll be ok in the frag tank Marie. It's 36" long and has live rock and corals in it. When he's healthy again I have to find him a good home though. If you're interested you can have him. I've also got a squammosa you can have.

It also amazes me how some of the most unexpected fish will attack the newbie. My blenny went after my fisheri angel way worse then my flame angel did.

I know. It's really hit-and-miss with fish. I just noticed the Coral Beauty eating nori side by side with the Lamarck's like they were old buddies. Stupid fish!

Aaarggh, sorry to hear. Stupid fish. Lord of the Flies in our tanks is not as fun as one might think.

Sorry to hear about the 90g shutdown but I understand the reasoning. Sadly it makes sense. I wish I could consolidate the 3 tanks I have now into 1, although I imagine the FW fish would totally hate that after a while.

Sorry to hear Lance. I've been lucky having never witnessed this new hazing / violence everyone speaks of but perhaps it's because I've had my Kole nearly from the beginning and the only other tang I've added was massive. I also don't have any fish with daggers for teeth like your tusk. Hope he recovers that was a pretty fish for sure.

Happy to say he's doing quite well. Eating like a pig and out & about now. On closer examination the wounds aren't as bad as I first thought. Mostly to the tail and finnage. The several bites to the body are fairly small and not to deep. Already beginning to heal. It always amazes me how fast a healthy fish can heal damaged tissue.

Boy am I stupid! Cleaned up the skimmer from the 90. Ran it overnight in vinegar water and today changed out the water in the tote and added a little bleach to the water, figuring the skimmer would come out nice and clean and shiny. Turned on the skimmer and left it for a couple of hours. Big mistake! The bubbles from the skimmer released the bleach into the air making it unbreathable. Lucky it was only the garage. Have had the door open for a couple of hours and I can at least go into the room now. Twit!

I know. And apparently I am already in short supply.

Here's the 90 a few weeks ago:

And here it is this morning after Joan just finished the lizard den:
