That clownfish swimming?

Oh yeah its a healthy bugger. Fat and happy in a different system. It was in rough shape for about a month, and did go a couple periods of not eating. Treated with metro/kana combo, and healed up in solo system.

Nasty little critters. I'd see them every so often with imports. Nothing like our local ones on rockfish, those are huge

Im not sure id want to see a bigger version of them walking around, like giant flea, gross.

What do you think happened? Flow off too long or epoxy chemicals if you used a ton?

I was told it could have been miasma. But honestly I couldn't say for sure. There was about 100 different things that were going on. Flow was on in the tank with a wave pump but not from the sump to display. I suspect that the high oxygen water from the sump irritated the corals that were in a low o2 environment in the display. I read in reef aquarium vol 1 (couldnt find the section sorry) that a rapid change in o2 can cause zoozenthella to expell. Again who knows right? The tanks fine now, took about a week to get back to normal but was on the right track after a day or so.

Picked up a few pieces from my friendly neighborhood coral dealer. Luke at wine country corals. Hes got some really cool pieces and at a realistic price. Anyway I dipped them and threw em in the tank. One acro bleached at some point, I didn't catch it until it was in the display. The rest are settling in fine. Blue tip gold indo torch, Oregon blue tort, RR rainbow loom, RR pink Cadillac and a Willy Wonka hammer aka holy grail hammer I guess. Did a count im up to 50 different species of coral. My wife hates me lol
