Dueling Dragons Reef - Waterbox 180.5 + 2x 40g Breeder Build

[SaltwaterScoop]

Finished the aquascapes for the 40 gallons! I'll soak and rinse the rock this week and add it next weekend. I used the same method as the main tank: attached rocks with super glue then secured the rocks with e-marco-400 then covered the e-marco joints with super glue + rock dust.

Went to the LFS yesterday...their main display tank popped a seam and they had to emergency move all of their fish and coral. They ending up putting a lot of the corals and fish up for sale. They didn't have any sand sifting gobies, but I was able to purchase a Lemon Wrasse that was in their main display and super acclimated to people/other tankmates. They also had a really personable Mimic Chocolate Tang that was significantly smaller than my Sailfin so I decided to give that a try. I also picked up another torch, frogspawn, and 3 zoa frags. Both fish were eating seconds after being introduced to the tank and no serious aggression between any fish so far.

Honestly don’t think that’s a Chocolate tang. It looks more like a Half Black Mimic Tang. You can see the difference between the face of each, with your tang being a lot more flat and the blue on its tail. These stay even smaller than the Chocolate as well

I was hoping someone might provide an alternative ID. When I googled mimic chocolate tang at the pet store, I was thinking it didn't look right. I think you nailed it! I'm glad it'll be smaller too. Thanks for the ID correction!
