Not ideal, but not to much you can do until he’s ready to move. If you have a back up heater you can put in and turn off the one he’s on it might help.

He is all the way on top of the heater now. Lol. His tentacles are at the surface of the water.

[Reef370]

Hey Mark. Not to be an alarmist or anything (because it could totally be my ability as a reef keeper) but two of the three fish I got from premier kicked the bucket. Not sure what the deal is, but I think I will be getting my fish from AU from now on. Didn't have any issues with dead fish until I picked up my clown from premier. Since then I have lost both my clowns (1 AU, 1 Premier), two gobies (one bumblebee, 1 diamond) and the mandarin. I will probably still get my corals from there, as they are all doing well with the exception of the sunny d zoas, and his coral prices are hands down the cheapest in the area. All the other fish in my tank are doing fine and show no signs that anything is wrong. Going to hold of for another week or two before trying any new fish from anywhere.

Thanks Seth.. it’s hard for me to make it out there anyway by the time they open I’m already done in my fish room and on to something else.

I will be following to see if that indeed is a thing.

I would recommend hold out as long as you can and let the tank mature and while you wait get you a nice fish list together.. (not saying you don’t have one already ) then you’ll be ready when the time comes.
