So actually NOT dead, but really stressed. Going to put him back into QT after a couple of days and try to get him back to the LFS I got him from.

Problem took care of itself. Rubyhead died in the acclimation box. Dang, I can't believe I miss that one on the list when i was researching.

Sorry to hear it

 

[DirtDiggler2823]

Sorry to hear it

Plot twist. It's still alive and just stressed.

Does anyone have experience with Crescent tails. Anything I should know. I can see they are pretty peaceful. Do they lose color or anything?

Peaceful, they keep their color. Lids are a must.

Perfect thanks, it will be in with a pintail but I dont imagine that should be a problem

With bigger tank probably ok. Use acclimation box though

Yea it's a 130, I also have, rhomboid, lineatus, flame,Katherine's, velvet, labouti, exquisite along with the pintail. I think I'm getting close to full if not full already. What do you think?

Yeah getting close or packed. Dont know what else you have in the tank.

Not much, just a group 3 borbonius anthias, a pair of watanabe angel and 3 small female leopard wrasse.

Wow. You are packed. Active tank.

 

[cody hendrix]

Yea for sure, massive 75 gallon refugium and 50 gallon sump. So well over 200 gallon of water. Even with three feedings a day nitrate still stay around 10.

Just learned that lesson yesterday.

@hairygary the rubyhead in the acclimation box is in better shape, and the solor is less energetic in attacking the box the rubyhead is in. The goal is to rehome the solor wrasse if these two cannot coexist, but does this lower attack intensity mean things are cooling down? Should I let the rubyhead back out, or is that just a bad idea?

Probably a good sign but I would leave in the box for a few days to be safe and let the Ruby calm a bit. However, if you plan to pull the Solor anyway, I'd pull him now.

I'd love to keep both, but not if one is going to kill the other no Matter what I do.
