That’s to bad he was a cool little guy. Sucks they have a taste for coral

Yep, very expensive taste. Sucks getting rid of the little guy but it had to be done.

Hopefully my scoly will be OK. Not sure exactly what it's doing at the moment.

On another note I didn't buy anything at my LFS!

It's a miracle!

Few pics I took.

Sorry I don't. I started googling the labels I saw by the tank. One said peppermin hog fish but I don't think that's it. It was too busy and I was in A rush so I snapped a pic and left. I should have asked. I can call and ask if you want? Lol.

I think it’s a type of anthias.

Google red saddled Anthia. That's it yeah? I called and the guy knew which one I was talking about right away. He said they got them is as slobo. Googled that and nothing came up? Maybe I misheard? Lol. Then I just started googling fish.

So I decided to go ahead and run chemiclean to get rid of the cyano.

I was going back and fourth in my head so I decided to watch some videos and both Than from tidal gardens and the reefdudes guy both gave it the thumbs up. Doesn't appear to be any negatives to running it so here goes nothing. Will do at least a 20% water change in 48 hours.

Now that I am down to 5 fish, any ideas on what other fish I can add?

So hungry!!! The coral too.

Nom..nom..nom

mattzang · Apr 13, 2019

you gotta get a blenny of some sort! and basslets are cool

angel if you think the scoly hasn't been through enough

maybe a trio of some of the smaller anthias

more wrasse maybe? but adding to an established melanarus might be trouble

That is excellent you fed it !!! It should recover well now! A lot of times they don’t give feeding responses after injury, and then they die

DD has some cool yellow band possum wrasse right now as well as ORA splendid dottyback and 3 different mandarin gobys

My tailspot blenny is my favorite. Lots of character. Had him for 4 years.

What's so cool about the blennies? JW

Angel is out, wrasse is out (I think), basslets do look pretty sweet.
