How To Deal With Am Aggressive Orchid Dotty?

Glad you caught it. I think your tank will be much happier with it gone. I had a Yellow Tang in my 90 gallon and I could almost swear my Coral Beauty and Melanurus did a happy dance after it was gone.

I haven’t been home since I caught but I imagine they will be better. They all are still disoriented because I had to take apart the scape to get the Orchid out [emoji29].

The orchid dottyback went to its new owner last night and I put the scape back together. My corals are made and the fish are hiding so hopefully when I get back I can see their normal behavior without the dottyback being there.

Before I part the scape back together, I did notice my wrasse was now swimming all over the back of the tank where the leftover rocks were. He started to flash his fins against the damsels. He seems to be getting his confidence back up.

Give it a few days and i'm sure they will settle back in.
