There are many ways to add new fish to your system, I myself prefer to use 2 methods.

Method #1 turn off all the lights and lower the flow to minimum then drop the fish in. Now if your an extreme person and want to use ninja smoke screen dose some coral snow as well:-)

Method #2 get a custom acrylic box and leave your fish in there for a few weeks until all your other fish gets a migraine from head butting the clear acrylic :-)

I'm a huge fan of the mirror trick. If your tank is bigger though a bigger mirror is worth it, or multiple mirrors. Its my go to for every new addition.

I just introduced 2 new guys to my tank, and my old Anthias has been terrorizing the more docile of the 2, the angel. Saw this post and taped 2 mirrors to the tank this morning. Wow what a difference. **** head is too busy trying to beat himself up, the angel is actually able to get out from his hiding spot and explore and eat! Maybe ill keep the mirrors on there... this is actually quite entertaining to watch!

So +1 for the mirror trick from me!
