My 240g FOWLR

Peter - sorry if you've answered this elsewhere, but how big was the rock beauty when you got it? Did you have any trouble getting it to eat?

It was tiny when I bought it, and I can't say it's more than slightly bigger now. But the amount of black has grown significantly. It has eaten pellets with gusto from day one.

Does he look like he wants to attack in the box? If not it might be worth a release if you don't think it will be too much trouble to catch him again. I've very curious to see how this turns out.

Hmmm, not sure on that. He seems more interested in figuring out what is blocking him, than what is through the looking glass :)
 
Extra3d: NO I DID NOT CYCLE TANK! I use Startsmart complete when I set up all my tanks! I put the golden butterfly in when the tank was half full of water then added all the other fish with in 5 days! Go see all my YouTube and you can see it step by step! SDguy has the best FOWLR I have ever seen! He is amazing the butterfly fish that he has in his tank! I use Startsmart in all my tanks weekly or biweekly! I have 5 DT and put fish in all 5 tanks the same day I filled up with water!
 
Few new pictures... I really like these shots of my Aussie CBB. Comparing to the yellow of the rock beauty, they really show how bright the orange is on the Aussie version.

Not eating yet! He gets all excited when I feed but want eat! He still looks good can't see any weight loss!
 
There was a margined coral fish on DD today for $179.99
(Chelmon marginalis) do you have one of these? Looks like the one in the pic that you just posted but yours has a black spot on it the one on DD did not but it might of been a juvi. This fish from Aussie I believe
