He has barely eaten the last 24 hours. Hoping he gets over the new tank shock soon. So tiny already, cant really afford to be starved before shipping, and not eat at his new home too :'(

Do you have any macro algae anywhere like a grubby rock in the sump, it wants to graze.

Actually have algae all over the tank. Hair and sea lettuce, and some of the dark emerald green that grows on the shaded live rock. I saw him test out some brine yesterday, but was so shy with everyone else eating he just spit it out and swam to a corner. Ive already fed this morning but I will feed again tonight. On top of that just dosed bacteria, and reef AB+ this morning. I have tons of pods (just re-seeded two weeks ago) so I am hoping he his covered for today at least. Hoping the shock wears off tonight. I dont want to catch him and put him in my sump, i'm worried that will be TOO much stress. Gonna be patient and just monitor him today. No jumping to conclusions yet.

It sounds like it needs to just settle, hopefully off and grazing soon.

Poor lil baby. I didnt want your life to be so short...

I dont know what i'd do if i lost you
I hope youre just hiding somewhere in the blue.

did you find her yet??

 

[alimac122]

did you find her yet??

nope. Even took a power head and blew around the rocks. Has to be alive and is just hiding in a tight spot. No way the power head wouldn’t have moved at least a part of her into vis if she was a goner

TBH I think I’m just a helicopter mom.
I go through with this with all my babies that hide.
remember a few weeks ago when this happened to the wrasse

 

[fishguy242]

waitin for the "there she is"

 

[alimac122]

ME TOO.
maybe tomorrow. asked on FB and one guy said he had one this small and it took a week to come out of its hiding place

 

[fishguy242]

you should see her sometime today i would think

I recently got a tiny hippo tang. It eats if I feed and walk away, wouldn’t dare show her face if I was anywhere close. I mostly have bubble algae so I’ve been giving nori banded to a rock and I’ve caught her nipping every day. As soon as I get within her view she darts. Hopefully little sailfin is still just nervous.

In the meantime.. its chem check day

I really need to quit using strips for pH

 

[alimac122]

Well......
because I am hyper observant helicopter mom.
I have noticed that the lemonpeel and scopas have been out front more today, and are hiding less in the rock work. Usually I will never even be able to find the scopas until i put food in the tank, but today, even when hes in his normal hiding spot, i can spot him.
So my scientific deductive pea brain reasoning is that the scopas does not have access to his normal safe place.
Could this be because little miss sailfin has wedged herself there? maybeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (fingers crossed) still no sign of her.

Found lil sailfin skeleton under the central main rock

broke a few corals on accident when moving rocks so now I have some frags.
And readjusted the rock work to make more hidey holes to hopefully reduce future aggression if that is ever an issue when they get bigger.

Sorry about the fish, love the new scape.
