He was sold as these two and also carpenteri. Really wants to come out and explore but the solorensis is not being very friendly. Going to try some rock rearranging tomorrow.

Did you use an acc box when you add him to the tank ? No one is bothering any of my flashers so far. Will be adding the other one and a mccosker tonight when I get in.

Unfortunately we don't have an acclimation box right now(broken). Our qt tank was unexpectedly out of whack so we acclimated him to the Dt. May have to put the Solon in the fuge for a bit and reintroduce him after the refiguring the rock work. Sometimes, nothing seems to go as planned.

Edit- Good news is he ate as soon as we put him in at lights out and he ate today as well.
