New Tank Mates

[Sewerat]

So last weekend I picked up one blue green chromis and one lemon yellow damsel from SL at that time I had a tomi tang and a fire angel both who never came out from hiding in the rocks much at all. So my tank looked empty most of the time. After I put them in now most of the time all the fish are out except at dark. Rather interesting. So then on Sunday while out just shopping, stopped in SL for a peek and just had to have one of the beautiful pearlscale butterflies. So today I let him out of the acclimation box and he seems to be holding his own in there. The angel is the one trying to bother him which surprised me as the tang normally runs the tank.

They are beautiful fish and once acclimated they are great fish. I did notice you have corals they will nip and eat them. They will leave some softies alone but love lps and sps

I suspect my pearscale is responsible for the disappearance of my palys. Keep an eye on him!

Yeah i think theres only a cpl that are somewhat reef friendly...even the copperband will pick at stuff.

Ya I read that when I was looking at him, not much luck with corals right now anyways so will be moving corals into small frag tank once I get it set up.

Why whats wrong?

 

[Sewerat]

I'm guessing lighting is not sufficient for them

Just a quick update. Took the pearlscale a few days before I saw him eating and frozen, he was able to easily protect himself from the Tomi and the flame and has left any corals I have alone but has taken to nipping at the rocks a little bit, I am thinking small feather dusters as I had one rock that had some and it appears to be cleaned off now... Need to find some more rocks that need cleaning.
