The cabbage move went well, it appears to like the extra light and flow but there is still an issue with the left edge so I will rotate it slightly later to get some pics.
The flame angel chases the pink streak quite often, just being annoying and the wrasse often dives under the cabbage.

Nearly caught M3.

Thanks, there is an un easy stand off between the two sides but it is getting better, no fins or tails damage for about a week so I guess it's just a question of time.
Hopefully it will get better still, if the flame angel wasn't involved I think the baby would have been accepted by now!

Desk view so this is end on and my view, looks great from the front btw, just needs to grow, I moved the porites back so now it is a waiting game.

Rescue.

My daughter popped around earlier and we had a chat for 10 minutes, she had to pick up some stuff from her room at my place, she hardly took her eyes off the twins and spoke to the fff!

Something has changed and the S scopas is acting oddly!
The first thing I did was check the rescue, it's un damaged.
I guess it usually glass surfs for maybe 5 minutes a day but today it has been at it for about 5 hours, very odd!

Theres a keeper right there si. Glad you got to see her eyes and feel the warmth again. Little things.

I know I push my luck and I have been bitten in the posterior, I figured if people have a few yellow tangs together together why shouldn't I be able to keep 4 scopas "together", it is slowly evolving and the fact I have not had sushi yet leads me to hope that they will settle more over time.

Perfect photo of perfect fish. Well done

And this answered what I asked on riches thread. I have the same thought about a group of scopes vs yellow tangs.

Looking good Simon. Love that Scopas. My Tomini is becoming less shy, still hides if I pull out the camera or my phone, but will come hang out at the front of the tank if I go sit in front of it...pic from across the room

And just because ;Smuggrin

Thanks, small change this morning, the s scopas is still glass surfing and when the rescue came in to the display earlier it was the yellow that squared up, the s scopas ignored it!

Thats some pretty crazy lateral line erosion. How long have you had it?

I ended up with a baby purple instead of a Tomini for the time being. I love that mushroom @Scratch08

That is the scar that is left, it came into my lfs in March with hlle as an inch plus fish that had been in a very small tank with a very poor diet and would not eat, I went in every day for a week and managed to get it eating, hand fed macro by day 4 and then it would basically eat anything.
I gave it a couple of weeks and once it was recovering I paid for it but the shop kept it for 6 months as I wasn't sure where to put it.
It has at least trebled in size already over that time frame and with hindsight I should have brought it home when it was smaller.
Early doors at my lfs.
