Skittish Fish New Corals

[jml1149]

Hello-


I have a Tomini Tang, and it's been in my new 120g for just over 2 months. Eats like a champ. I'm upgrading from a 29g to the 120g, and slowly moving the corals over to the bigger tank.

Last night, I moved over a 4" brown/green grape coral that today still looks pretty pi$$ed off, but improving. However, also today, my Tomini Tang is super sketched out and won't eat.

Is it possible, or has it been seen before, that a new coral adjusting to a new tank, can affect a sensitive fish this way?

I haven't been running carbon, but if there is some minor chemical warfare, will start tonight. Can't hurt I guess, right?


Thank you in advance for any replies.

IMO, I think he may be nervous of you messing in the tank. He got use to that tank for 2 months and now it's changing. I will give him some time and keep an eye on them. I suggest trying to get all your corals in there soon, so he can be at peace or you may have a repeating scenario.
