I don't see any damsels. :confused:
Stay tuned there was only one that made the cut. The sergeant major — only because they’ve been nearly everywhere I’ve traveled on vacation.

I took some time and really tried to get some GOOD photos. Everyone is eating and thriving in their new home.

Flukes banged a few up but they’ll make a full recovery.

Is that Emperor on the smaller size or is your Foxface and Purple tang extra large?
The foxface and purp are decent sized. The emp is way bigger. That tank just makes those fish look way smaller than they are lol.

Emperor is 5-6".

Just noticed when they swim near the Emp he seems smaller than I thought he should be.
The foxface is only about 1 inch smaller and the purple maybe the same. The big angels aren’t in yet...

Have you ever thought about getting rid of the tangs and angels and making it a Damsel only tank? How cool would that be! :cool:

Fish look beautiful!

Tank is awesome. Will you be able to add any anemones or easy to care for, noxious tasting, soft corals to the tank?

Or are you going to use all that fish poop for Acropora heaven?
My puffer is already chomping on cabbage, and they’re known for biting any and all coral. Anemones I am considering but nothing is safe from a puffer!

Right now there are button polyps, some dark turquoise-ish large polyps, a little bit of star polyps the puffer may have already eaten, several cabbage leathers that were taking over my 180, several Kenya tree, and some anthelia.

Very nice! Jealous of all the angels I can’t keep:eek: You could try red mushrooms, almost guaranteed to multiply faster than the fish can eat it
I had a rock with no exaggeration 50 orange, a few red, and some green mushrooms in a previous FOWLR. My puffer ate every one in 24-36 hours LOL!
