Hi, I have introduced coral beauty to my 210gal reef after one night the flame and hippo are Chasing the her every time she comes out. Looks like her fins are all rough now. I have caught both of them and have them in time out. How long you think is safe for me to keep them in the box before they become too stressed? I don't want to release them to early and give coral beauty a chance.

A week or two, had to do this with my purple tang when introducing new fish.

Coral beauties are pretty tough when it comes to bullies when they get comfortable, not sure about the flame, lots of people cant keep them together due to aggression so hopefully the flame chills out

The flame actually chilled out a little after the night but than the hippo started. I caught them both by accident so separated them both. I just want the coral beauty to get more comfortable before I let them out. I think I will try in several days I hope the coral beauty doesn't start to chase the flame :) Thanks!

Hopefully it works out! Both are stunning fish. I couldnt decide between the two so I ended up with a golden dwarf angel! Patterns and the shape of a coral beauty but the brilliant red and orange of the flame! Cant get a picture of mine, he is still shy in the tank but being more and more visible!
