Copperband update… 👀
Making progress.
He’s officially off brine and now eating live oysters way more aggressive feeding than I expected.
But… the tangs are on him.
• Purple Tang leading the charge
• Bristletooth backing him up
Tried the mirror trick helps while it’s there… then they remember him again 😅
And yeah… I went for it.
He’s now in the general population 😂
So far he’s holding his own, staying active, and still eating, but definitely getting tested.
Not calling it a win yet… this fish has humbled me before.
For those who’ve kept one long term—
when did you release yours?
Did aggression ever fully stop?

Tang gang.
I recently acquired a baby yellow tang for my tank, but my purple tang has been exhibiting aggressive behavior towards it. It chases and bites the baby tang, prompting me to create a DIY acclimation tank. Additionally, I purchased a mirror to attach to the tank’s glass. Considering these factors, how long should I keep the baby tang separated from the purple tang?

Looking for advice! We just set up a second smaller tank (60gl) and now cannot decide what to put in it. We originally had plans to do a seahorse tank but after research, have decided NOT to go that direction.
We have 125g setup now with more peaceful fish. One option is to relocate all my small fish into the smaller tank and then put a snowflake eel into the 125 with my blue tang, scopas tang & foxface.
Or build a second stock list in the new tank. Water is cycling now so we have some time to build it out. Suggestions welcome! 😄
Looking for opinions on final fish to add to my mixed reef tank. I have a 125 gallon (2’x2’x4’) tank. Currently have a quoyi parrot fish, 2 watanabei angels, a magnificent fox face, a mandarin, a Midas blenny, a naoko wrasse, 2 clowns, and a Randal goby. My plan is to add a bristle tooth tang (either a tomini or maybe a Kole tang) and maybe a Bella Rose goby? Or maybe a female mandarin as the male has bee showing off his fins lately. Is this too much? I have a large varied clean up crew, a 40g sump with an over sized skimmer, a lot of media and a Clarissea roller.
