Everyone enjoyed the slight change in scape. Box covers up the detritus pile that's hard to reach :D, little coris found his bed, and the pectinia is happy as a peach is it's spot(though it's trying to sting everything still)

And now you can see the beautiful Acan I almost killed a couple years ago. And the beautiful orange lobo

I had always read that Blastos are the least aggressive corals. Weird.
I never had an aggressive blasto. This time is a bit strange.
Anyhow fragged the booger and it's on it's own rock.
Copperband.... Attacked the clown tang 3 times just now.. I know the cbb is male, and I believe the clown is male. The cbb had attacked the solar wrasse before, but nothing extreme. This is not going to be pretty..

Box one?

I boxed tomini when it went after the flame angel. But then I introduced a bigger tank mate and lots more before releasing.

I don't have an acclimation box, and the clown tang is closing in on 4". I don't want to set the 60g up. And I refuse to move the cbb with their more delicate nature. I won't be able to catch the clown with a net, he's still capable of snuggling rockwork in a cave.

Anytime the clown gets into a scuffle with the scopas, the cbb goes into assault mode. Spines flare up and directed to the clown.

This is actually, a headache.

They're giving away 3 acclimation boxes in the Supporter giveaway this month.

I made mine out of egg crate. It was completely ugly and rigged. But it worked and stopped the headache. I put the aggressive fish in the cage and let the little guy run free .

This situation has 2 things going on, cbb is the dominate male. May be delicate by nature, but those dorsal spines are dangerous. The clown going into a box.. is only going to keep the clown from getting killed by the ccb.

Ever own a powder tang?

Got a purple, and blue hippo, and tomini.

No I haven't , I'm sure you know more. I'll just send luck and keep my dumb suggestions to myself. :)

They're both asdonkies. I should have went with a hippo. Much more peaceful.

I was just going to add. There is a point we do 2 things. Follow the rules or accept the consequences. If he wants to continue to anger the cbb, he can suffer and die.
I don't have the engery to pamper his fins. I'll endure the headache :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

Okay one horrible suggestion....

Have you tried yelling at the cbb? Telling him he's bad and he won't get dinner and will have to sleep with no mattress?
Cbb is a perfect fish. He can keep that clown on the run

Or show him fish sticks. Wave them in front of his face and then take a bite.

Well the big hammer colony got a haircut im so sad right now. I had a spaghetti looking type sponge growing under him for awhile and wasnt a big issue until today today he didnt open up at all had the spong basically put him in a choke hold it was completely covered all over the base and skeletal....had to cut him into three pieces just to scrub it off but we will see what tomorrow brings all base parameters are spot on. Everything else in the tank has been looking amazing even today but that sponge just was spiraled and twisted and everywhere i didnt grab a picture of before but here is an after....maybe now it will thrive.
