First I'm gonna tak a second and defend "slyguy". U totally misinterpreted his msg. He is a really nice and helpful fellow in the community. Sometmes in our haste to deliver the message wthout writing a novel we overlook the possible implied "tone" of the message. Me for example, I destroy the english language...lmao.
I agree with what everyone else has put forward. I guess a guy could grab some plexi too and either drill out some holes if desired, or leave solid to control evap. Your Trigger may be the root cause. Cant remember where but read somewhere a long time ago Triggers and Tangs dont always mix well. If push came to shove I will take a Tang over a Trigger any day. Yellows are known to b agressive although mine is a bloody pussy cat and only gets ****ed if someone goes near "HIS" veggie clip.

Bulk reef supply sells clear netting and a window frame kit. I think its $24. People have said on here before that they have found the clear netting elsewhere but I can't remember where.

Even with the screen kit, I had my favorite orange back wrasse slither through a hole where my return entered the tank. It really sucks but I'm not sure if there is a reefer that exists that hasn't had a fish go crispy on them, so don't get too freaked out.

Thanks for the help.

But 2 in one day? Would the yellow tang be scaring them?

Wrasses and gobies are naturally "nervous" and skittish. Sudden movements and vibrations can make them dart around. An assortment of rocks, crevices, and substrate helps.

The Bulk Reef Supply 1/4" Netting is ideal in my opinion to help prevent jumpers and carpet surfing. It also allows for much better light penetration than light diffusing egg crate. Egg crate tends to cast larger shadows.

This plastic netting has been known to be available at Home Hardware stores and some Garden Nurseries.

It is possible that your Tang is scaring them; but there may also be other variables as well. As an example: If your display is in a low traffic area where not a lot of people/pets pass by it; your inhabitants will be used to that. Any sudden movements or vibration may startle them.

P.S. - Jawfish.....great jumpers - out of the display, into overflows, and into sumps.

Ok I'm trying to find some of that 1/4 inch chicken wire but no one seems to carry it. Right now I'm using window screens instead of the egg crate for temporary use
