Overflow Fish

[NewbyReefer]

Just wondering if anyone else has a fish that has made there overflow box there home. My royal gramma has been pulled 3 times and now I just give up. Here's a pic. The pic is sideways but you get the idea.

Something most likely chased him. I had a Purple Tang chase a Mystery Wrasse into my overflow a couple times....

I once had one of these that would spend a few days completely hidden every now an then.

A shame for the display though.

Cheers,

Since its been doing it the only things are a maderine, coralbeauty, or a 6line wrasse. None of them are that big. There also in a 135 gal.

Probably the sixline since they can be jerks. Make you a cover for your overflow and be done with it.

I had a longnose hawk that would find his way in and down to my fuge. I dont know why but he was a frequent flier.

6 lined or coral beauty would chase him.

6 lined or coral beauty would chase him.

Yep. Grammas can be very skittish.

If that is a hang on back overflow,I would put some screen on the back of the canopy,to prevent jumping in the overflow box or floor.And sixlines can be real jerks.

In our old tank we had the same thing happen with our gramma!

Probably the sixline since they can be jerks. Make you a cover for your overflow and be done with it.

Ditto. We had our old sixline chase around a new pair of clowns until the smallest one ended up in the overflow box.

Better the overflow than the onthefloor!

It wont do any harm if it just stays in there for now. I do make sure food gets in there and i've seen it eat.

I had a midas blenny spend 8 months in one and an orchid dottyback 3 months or so in another. Both were recovered when taking down the tanks!

I now cover the overflows!
