I've been taking care of their saltwater section for the last month now, and trying to get them all back on track with better care. I had the same feeling, so I decided to do something about it!

I got a damsel there that did pretty well.
usually the unhappy fish are the ones that recently arrived.

This is true. We've had some pretty sick fish fly in from Tonga recently from a specific distributor, and we lost half of our last shipment, from no fault of our own.

The coral beauty there is currently under quarantine as it was behaving strangely, and came from Tonga - so I would stay away from it,

The hawk fish is an arch eye hawk. He's a pretty fish, eats a lot and is fairly active.

We have another shipment coming tomorrow, and I'll be there for the acclimation process and transfer. I finally got my red tailed tamarin wrasse! I'm looking forward to it.
