Oh man, I averted disaster. I got them Tuesday, just did a short QT to make sure they looked healthy and were eating. Which they were, I put them in Thursday, and my King Angel (H. Passer) went to work. I figured he would chase them for awhile just to show them who was boss, but it was much worse. He started relentlessly on the Queen, whom is 6+ inches, same as is the King. He absolutely terrorized the Queen, then he moved on to the almost 5 inch Grey.
IDK, I think you can tell when a fish just wants to show he’s the Alpha. The King Angel I believe was going to kill these fish. I tried catching them, my tank is 5x5x2.5, it’s a nightmare, I had no luck Thursday, so I killed all lights and left it. The next morning the moonlights on, King went right back to work. I used a bigger net, and finally got them. I think were exhausted and gave up.
They are back in QT, pretty roughed up, but eating and recovering. I also have a 460 gallon softyreef. It already has an 8 inch Emperor, but he’s never shown the least bit of aggression. I didn’t really want 2 more big angels in there, but I’ll be glad to have them there.
I’m going to QT them longer, let them heal, but also, ick in a FO tank isn’t the end of the world, obviously ick in a reef is a disaster, so make sure they’re good, hit them with cupramine in a few days.
Sorry, long post. I’ll get a video later.
