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.

Keeping the tang balance in my reef tank🙏🏻😊,should I add more or keep the peace ?
Its been two weeks since I got a pair of Long fin Clownfish!
They finally settled and started to learn their feeding cues! Much less food waste now!
I got some diatoms in the sand and glass but the copepods and snails are catching up nicely!
Now is just a lil maintenance 😁
Excited to add a cleaner shrimp and/or hermit crabs in the next couple of week! (Still deciding on the hermits) What you guys think?
And now I’m researching for compatibility for the anemones and soft corals
or maybe just add the Euphyllia instead is anemones🤔
Not sure why the green shrunk down so much… At night she flips me off… 🙄😂 How long did it take for y’all’s clowns to start hosting on the anemones? So far, mine will only host on the back wall of the tank. 🤦🏼♀️ Little weirdos.
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?
Is it sleeping? I have my lights completely turned off right now. My smaller clown fish is starting to try to build a relationship with it right now. He was last night so I don’t know if he was doing it as well tonight or not.
is the small clownfish fine? When I walked downstairs to check on the tank, the light is turned off. I see him like that and he wasn’t doing that all day today and my water is still completely fine so is he sleeping?
My lfs wouldn't sell me anything after less than 2 months, since all my parameters was good I went elsewhere. Does it looks like it's working so far?
