Yes, I am anxious to post pics but the new fish are still very skittish. I was happy to see the little fairy wrasse start eating from day 1. The pajama cardinals are looking more chill but I haven't seen them eat yet. The firefish would be more chill if the ocellaris clown was more welcoming. If that doesn't change Ozzie may find himself in the sump in time out!

Here is a promised Pic. I moved some macroalgae around to make the left back corner of the tank more crowded to cut down passage ways for the tomini and ocellaris clown who were both bullying the new fish. I could only 3 of the 5 new fish, one cardinal, half a firefish and the female fairy wrasse.
Looks great!

Love it
Thanks guys! I hate the stress of adding new fish where the prior residents have been there for years. It's always a relief when they more or less settle in and nobody has died!

Today I noticed that my tomini tang was relentlessly chasing the fairy wrasse. The wrasse has been holding up well but she can't keep having to live like that. So I practically tore the tank apart but I caught Tommy the tomini. I plan to rehome Tommy, hopefully to a friend's tank but if not then to a lfs. He is a beautiful fish but he was disrupting the whole tank.

Yeah, its crappy George. I have had Tommy for about 4 years and he is such a sleek beautiful fish. He usually is almost always chill with new fish but the one other time he harassed a fish, he did it til he killed that fish! I was not going to let that happen again. I am happy to report that a friend who wholesales coral in his basement is taking him, so he will get good care. There is consolation in that.
