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?
Big mana the Miami white clownfish how has had 4 partners and killed all but 1, saved him from her at the last moment. She is by herself again

Purple tang hates my new anthias male and my flame hawkfish:/ anyone with experience with mitigating this?
They keep fighting. I have to get rid of one
My longfin storms keep fight how long you think I should keep the aggressive one in here. I got them as a pair
Keeping the tang balance in my reef tank🙏🏻😊,should I add more or keep the peace ?
Taking this trouble maker back to the fish store!
Sad day. Woke up to a dead Royal Gramma. I think he got hit by my BTA or possibly the pistol shrimp. Struggling to wrap my head around it. Probably safe to say I'm not going to add any more fish. Tank is talking to me.😢
Sad day today. My female clown fish has come up missing. She’s not in the tank. I checked the overflow. I even checked in the sump thinking maybe somehow she got sucked down into the sump. She’s not there. Must’ve had a run in with one of my tang’s, and of course the crabs and the snails must have had a feast. I turned off the water so I could see down through the top of the tank she’s not in the tank. I feel gut shot today. That’s what’s hard about keeping these animals. We become attached and now I feel terrible. It happens so fast because I know for a fact, she was in there yesterday morning.
Have a new tank coming in soon.
Got a Waterbox 330.7 and putting together a potential fish list. I know I have a tendency to be aggressive about what I put in my tanks.
Wanting any feedback from personal experiences! Thank you in advance!
My two clowns are going on day 4 in the tank. They are both about an inch and half in size. Quite little. Eating well also. I did notice today that they were showing some aggression toward each other tonight for a couple seconds. Is this normal?
Tang being neurotic? Playing his nightly game? Little bit of both?
