Never mind when he get's bigger he's already trouble He's always blown around the sand bed, only now instead of a little puff of sand he can create a mini sand storm. On the plus side though, it keeps the sand bed looking clean. He also lately taken to moving rock usually it was 2-3 smallish pieces of loose rock that he'd move around, but last week he decided he didn't like where this one rock was (about a 5-6 pound med. decent sized piece of rock) and kept knocking it over into the front pane of glass I ended up putting another piece of rock under that rock and finally got it tilted into a spot where he's left it alone for the past few days.

Also he seems to be the only similar shaped larger fish my King angel can't really bully. They do fight every now and then but the trigger will stand up for himself and not back down, so my King tends not to pick on him to much.

Bit of an update. On the sad side of things a couple of weeks ago my red fuzzy dwarf lionfish decided to jump out of the tank and a few days later my harlequin tuskfish didn't look to good and he's been MIA for over a week now (kinda wonder if my mystery wrasse harassed him to much or something as I've noticed he's started chasing my leopard wrasse around)

On the bright side of things awhile ago I got a rainbow wrasse and mandarin goby that are doing well and another maxi mini anemone purple/green.

So last night I go to clean up my mixing tank for water changes and I look into my refugium (I moved my cheato and mangroves back into the sump to make room for more rock in the 80g) and low and behold I see my orange starfish I had been wondering why I hadn't seen him in the display for awhile, but I was surprised to see him in the sump! That means that he went through my overflow into my plumbing pipes and traveled through about ten feet of plumbing pipes before getting to my sump. Crazy! Happy he's ok though.

He's back in the display now here's hoping he stays put.

I got it a month ago, basically a couple of weeks after I bought my first one, from Big Als. Not sure if they have any left or not. If I get brave enough I could consider trying to frag it.
