I plan to thought I might bait you a bit first

I'll just stop posting fish pics, up yours!

Amazing tank, loving the variety of life in it. Sorry if I missed it but could you recap the setup? Equipment and dosing? Interested as I hope one day my tank will be close to yours.

Welcome.
Thanks, it is 550 litres water volume, two tanks in one, it is divided at 100 cm with a swim through hole in the divider.
The other side is a display refugium, lots of caulerpa.
The sump has a large refugium as well.
I don't do water changes except in emergencies.
I manually top up with ro for evaporation and dose liquid supplements manually as well.
I run a skimmer as required.

No it is not that easy!

Run with water changes and let the tank settle for a few months.
Once your cycle is done, generally 2 - 4 weeks add things slowly and don't try and run before you can walk!
Enjoy your journey.

I know right and apparently I am sacrificing my sps to house it?

Simon,
It's a really cool fish.
Your SPS will just have to be night bloomers...

Thanks, it is a scavenging little monster, swims with everyone.

I nearly tidied this up this morning and then decided against it.
Please don't tell @Katrina71 about the new addition in case she has a cuteness overload!
It could easily perch on my thumb nail!

Too much pink?

Sucker for a rescue!
Dipped and snipped!

 

[najer]

Let's be honest, with the flame angel a fat mandarin and two hawk fish, I never had very good pe anyway!
Getting flack on fb for adding it, people need to chill the **** (I typed 4 x *) out!

 

[najer]

Dip and snip, gotta love a rescue!

 

[Raege]

Lovin’ the fish you’ve added. It’s a heck of a playground you’ve built gotta let em in to play

Thanks.

I have been in from work for 1 1/2 hours now, I have not seen it peck at an sps in all that time!
I hate to think what my nutrient levels are!
Brown acro from a few weeks ago and the Dis Waltney, as people have mentioned, my polyps will just go nocturnal hopefully!

 

[Mortie31]

my polyps will just go nocturnal hopefully!

My polyps are nocturnal due to angels and previously butterflies, my sps didn’t seem to suffer for it at all..

I saw it before I read the tag

 

[Katrina71]

The more I look at this fish, the less I can believe he can do much damage, a long thin nose like that, just doesn’t seem designed to eat sps. More like for probing between the branches to get at pods etc.

I agree

 

[Katrina71]

I want to do a post on the file fish but I wouldn't be able to keep up!
It really is swimming around like a community fish, early doors still, I really need to get a good pic of it and it's little pudgy tummy.

I really like your little monster. I think if anyone can defy the odds, it will be you.

Thanks, I will try my best, you know I love it when people tell me I can't do something!

Do you have red hair too? Lol

... I wish I had hair!

Ok, the bad and the good news.
I just removed the pocilipora, zero polyps, that has never happened, my stilo looks sketchy, if it needs to come out I will tear the tank apart to remove it!

The good, loving this newish guy, starting to show some base flesh colour.

 

[najer]

I know hun, the tank looks fine, I told you the camera doesn't do led only evening, it accidentally focused on you, my bad!

Think it's the filefish causing issues?

Nooooooo let's blame the angel.
