Now he is being a bit aggressive towards the firefish but to my utter surprise, the clowns the defending the firefish :O Whenever the dotty would come towards firefish, they would rush to the scene and the dotty would move to his side. Such a wonderful thing! I hope his aggression towards firefish comes down. He is just too pretty to be taken out and I can't find any other pretty fish which is reef safe. BTW sorry for hijacking your thread :$

Added Acropora formosa and Acanthastrea (not yet opened) from Tidal_Waters
  Added Flame Hawk (Neocirrhitus armatus) from Ocean Creation   One of the Blastomussa started showing receding tissue and exposing skeleton. I just read that Blastomussa are actually surprising tricky... having very latent reaction to stress, and typically thought to be due to being exposed to bright light too quickly. It's been 8 days since I moved my 2 tanks into one big reef, I must have placed this frag too close to the light... 8 days later it's showing stress. Bugger. I've just moved it to the sand bed, might be too late.

Orange tang is clever! It is named such that the oceanic authority cannot sue them for stealing any name!

Well, the recent additions have flared up a bout of Cryptocaryon outbreak. The new Naso Tang and Yellow Tang are fine and showing no spots nor flashing (scraping bodies on rocks), they might have completed the treatment at Gold's and have developed immunity to it, but my new Hippo/Blue/Palette Tang along with existing residents A.ocellaris and Powder Blue Tang have it. Spots look larger and more sparse than Oodinium... so I am assuming Cryptocaryon. I've been freshwater dipping for 3 or 4 days now... thought I'd share the limits of the FW baths.
So far for the Powder Blue... I know his bolt/hide holes so I place my nori clip at the opposite end of the tank. I've had good success at catching him 4 times now throughout the past 3+ days. When he goes to the other end of tank, I'll wedge my fish net in his path to the other end of the tank along the glass... and also has helped to suddenly shut off the lights so he becomes visually impaired (no dilating pupils). First dip 2 mins, second dip 2 mins, frustrated with spots not going away, next dip increased to 15 mins watching closely... fish never became unresponsive so last night's dip I pushed to 30 mins... no issues. Tap water with temperature match, aprox 3 gallons, 5ml of Hagen StressCoat for Chlorine . A.ocellaris, one dip at 20 mins. Most spots now gone on Powder Blue Tang and A.ocellaris. Blue tang, not yet been able to catch, still covered in spots. Update on the Blastomussa that exposed skeleton. Thread on issue here: http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/sho...threadid=90755 Looking much better in the past several days simply by placing it lower in the aquarium away from the bright light. No target feeding needed... looks like it was a case of light shock. Photo today.   Last edited by Reef_Geek; 10-18-2012 at 09:05 PM.
