no fighting between them?

YES INDEED ! Originally another black and white two stripe and it picked on them all but mostly the other black and white. We noticed it started to get ich and we removed the alpha and within 4 days the weaker black and white cured itself. We have not replaced the alpha except for a moment after a few days and it immediately changed the color on our sapphire and it started chasing and black and white again. Took it back and and that was that. Now they all still have issues of their own. The pinks have there respective homes down low at the sand bottoms meeting the rock and the other in a large shell. The velvet and black and white tend to go after each other for the rockwork itself and the sapphire has a corner with his own large shell to hide in, the black and white tends to pick on the sapphire. I’ll get photos soon

Few of the sea slugs we have and a photo of our little ones last day alive… he is the tan little fella back on the rock. You can see two larger ones on the shell and algae

Any ideas on the white cloud ? I’m told possible bacteria bloom it’s a newer tank, less than 6 months in. I did add some calcium, magnesium today with some rodi salt water mix that always clouds it up a few hours but in general we have this white haze the last few weeks.
