Hi, our tank and first corals!

I would recommend treating all wild caught fish for internal parasites unless there is a specific reason not to for example the fish can't tolerate meds. If the fish is healthy the signs of internal parasites are hard to catch but in an aquarium setting these parasites can multiply fast. Then if something stressful happens they will take advantage of their host and you have a really sick fish.
 
I observe my fish for 2 - 3 weeks and not treat because the fish are treated before I get them. Most importers treat their fish, so if you know the supply chain -
 
Thanks for the advice so far, I think we will continue to observe and decide to or not to medicate after he fattens up a bit...

here is a picture of the little green coral goby...

*Welcome to the forum!*Your photos are nice.In response to your questions; 1-I will spot feed my urchins frozen foods if they happen to be around at feeding time. 2- I like to observe new fish in our quarantine tank which we keep at a lower salinity.
 
Beautiful pictures! One concern I have, coming from first hand experience is, keep a close watch on that Green Implosion Paly. Although beautiful they become very invasive and are hard to remove.
Keep up the great work, your corals look fabulous! :)
