I have a peaceful community of fish....no aggressive or semi aggressive fish. yellow tang, blue tang...

You're the first person I've heard describe a yellow and blue tang as "peaceful."

good point. I've been target feeding & it does go after it. It is becoming a little more curious & is roaming a little farther this evening. I plan on finding a new home for the damsels because they are breeding & making a mess in my tank with the sand they stir-up....sand everywhere! the 2 OSFF & yellowtail blenny are in a separate tank connected to my main system. If things don't work-out for him or her in 300, I could relocate to the 60 gl. where the filefish & blenny are. I really believe it will be OK & settle in when I find a new home for those crazy damsels. my plan is to catch them at feeding time one evening...hopefully I can catch 2 or 3 at one time?

I think that the 60 gallon would be a perfect home for the terelabrus.

day 3. At feeding time the fish darted out amongst all the other fish waiting in a group to be feed. after placing the mysis in the tank, the new guy really went for it. It ate 5 big pieces,competing with the big boys I would say. That really made me feel better about the situation. I think it's going to be OK....very happy with this developement!!!!

technologically speaking... you are correct! but my yellow tang is a very, very passive fish. bought it from blue zoo...tank raised! when I bought my chevron tang & put it in my system(yellow tang about 6 times bigger than the chevron)(chevron a little bigger than a quarter) the yellow tang never raised a fin.... those 2 fish are buddy's. as for the blue tang(hippo), check out blue zoo's description for this fish....."peaceful"!!!

Glad it's working out for you.

thanks!!! On the second feeding friday night, the yellowbar really went for it again(mysis) & fought my black clown for a real big piece that was in its mouth....he took it away from the clown! maybe this fish is not as docile as I thought? exploring the rocks a little more on one side of the tank. It's not a lazy fish.
