Still have to get a good shot of the barred goby, or zebra dartfish or what ever you call it, but man it is cool and the big guys still leave it alone. It eats all of the crumbs that float by.

Ha! Cheaper to get rid of fish! The tusk is blind and has to be fed with a stick and the queen is for sale on craigslist locally. So picture 2 less fish in the tank. Not really sure what to do with the tusk. From what I've read this isn't horribly uncommon and their vision doesn't come back. So do I just freeze it?
 
Good looking fish as always. Don't freeze the tusk just because it's blind, though! You could probably sell it to someone with a complete reef tank as he might be totally invert safe now lol.
 
You know I was thinking I could get a cleaner shrimp again now! This guy was the one that killed my 8+ month cleaners, not the triggers. It is just hard to imagine that someone would want one that has to be target fed daily. It is worth a shot though.....you want it? you live in CA......
 
Target feeding isn't really that big of a deal, I don't think. Many fish people keep need to be target fed (eels, lions, wasps, etc), but they still keep them. I don't think it would be too hard to find a new home for him. If I didn't already have a tusk I'd probably take him ): . Like, is he constantly running into stuff or is he navigating OK?
 
He bumps into rocks and the glass, but sometimes knows when to turn. But if my hand is in the tank he will run right into it. I think it has the tank pretty much memorized. It knows where to return to for rest as it did before the vision problem. The only problem is that the clown and queen don't like to be ran into. Also when the tusk is lying down sometimes the triggers come in to show who's boss and slowly descend onto it and where a normal fish would say oh $hit and move out of the way, it will just sit there unaware of the sign of dominance and get bit on the gut, side, or the fin or tail. Not much tail left.

I'll try to see if someone would want it.
 
It never has an issue with the smaller fish, or the big ones for that matter. Really easy going fish.

NYC I can prove they're in there with another shot tonight! You can't see the blueface angel from that shot either!!!!
 
Sold the queen tonight. LukFox Still got the tusk, you're right that it is easy to spot feed, but didn't even try to come and get food today. NYC didn't get that pic, didn't have that much extra time with the queen deal and all. Someday soon.

Oh and LukFox, bet I can get a closer tusk shot for your avatar! It isn't camera shy at all! Bad humor.....I know.
 
at first i almost said u need some coral and then i realized i was in the fowlr section and then i realized what was in the tank haha. that clown trigger is beautiful but like the rest said you need some more space for those guys but beautiful fish!
 
You have more fish in your tank than I do in my 210g. They all look happy though; so great job. The corris wrasse is awesome.
 
Thanks! 75 gallon weekly water changes for the past 2 months doesn't hurt! Kind of expensive though, but my nitrates are less than 20 with a crappy (but getting better with each mod) skimmer and no fuge. My aquaripure denitrator is cycled but hard to keep the correct flow or feeding amount of vodka. It passes this white crap that clogs up the outlet. The clown trig and carpet anemone will be 2 years in my care on April fools day, and the coris turns 3 in the summer. The coris is bullet proof I think.
 
Too many fish and it's presence seemed to keep the other fish from swimming around as much as they used to. Thanks for the compliments folks.
