Quick question, I have been doing a bunch of reading and still can't find the exact answer I'm looking for.
I got stuck with a 3" dwarf fuzzy lionfish. I know I'm taking a chance putting it in my mixed reef tank, but lucky for me all my fish are big enough not to be eaten for now until I find it a forever home.
My tank is primarily a SPS mixed reef tank, so I have a good amount of flow.
72g tank with a mag 9.5 return that splits into a Y and 2 jeabo RW8's running at about 1/3 it's power(these are some strong pumps).
Question is, I think my tank might have too much flow for the lionfish. Any info on this would be great as I would prefer not to kill this fish because I have too much flow in my tank. It has seemed to find a spot in my tank with not too much flow on the substrate and I do have a good amount of live rock with plenty of hiding spots. It did however seem to get blown around a bit when first put into the tank. Hence the reason I am asking. I'm not sure if he just needed to get used to the tank or if it is just too much flow for him.
I have only had 1 lionfish in the past and got rid of him shortly after I got him. Bad first experience many years ago. So I don't know too much about lionfish besides what I have read online, been told by friends and seen in person. Any extra help would be grateful.
