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?
Everything is still waking up but I have a royal gramma I got a week ago and haven’t seen him since adding him to the tank. Took apart all the aio chambers yesterday thinking he jumped behind and nothing. How long should I wait before assuming the circle of life has happened and my cuc already got to him? Haven’t had a big parameter swings. It was the last add to this tank that I wanted. Considering getting another of I don’t see him for another week.
got this orange storm at petco for $50! he’s a bit banged up but i’m hoping i can nurse him back to 100% in a few months
newest addition to the tank.
firefish gobby.
levels are staying 0 for NH3 and NO2
also 2 emerald crabs.
Copperbands doing well, still not eating very much but it’s two days in and he’s at least eating something.
Just added a copperband! He was eating brine and two little fishies wormbitz and decided to pull the trigger. Yellow tangs being a bit of a bully he seems to be avoiding it though
My little Inkblot (bottom left) found a way to jump out of the tiny crack between the screen and the side of the tank at 4:00 this morning. 😭 We found him all dried up on the floor when we came out for breakfast at 7 am. I’m so sad! He was so pretty! Figuring out how to close the gap now. 🤦🏼♀️ I didn’t think it was big enough to worry about. Don’t make the same mistake I did!
My clownfish keeps staying in the corner of my tank. He eats fine, but he doesn't swim around much. Is this normal?

Golden Angel or Coral Beauty? Which one is better for a mixed reef?
Purple tang hates my new anthias male and my flame hawkfish:/ anyone with experience with mitigating this?
Sorry for the no lens filter. Had to catch the pic quick. My orange clown is camera shy. These lazy jobless little shits dug out this cave and just lay around all day while I’m home. But when I’m gone they are all over the tank. Sticking it to the man traverses species I guess. Side note, They have tried laying eggs with no success thankfully as I don’t have a hatchery tank set up for them yet.
They keep fighting. I have to get rid of one
