Your fish is a splendid dottyback
They can grow to about 4-5 inches and can become aggressive even to much larger fish. Awesome looking fish!
So you're saying it will get more aggressive? Yeah he's burrowing under the rocks making little caves haha

Most likely yes. He may not allow new fish to be added to the tank.
However I've heard of people taking them out and adding a new fish, then a few days/weeks later re adding the aggressor and it lessening the aggression. It's not a perfect system but it can work.
Lol awesome! Sounds like he's fun to watch
Bummer hopefully he's a lot more chill and doesn't become aggressive because I'd like to add more fish! He is he's pretty funny just hanging in the cave all the time. Also the other zoas opened up! Under the blue light they're pink this what they look like under normal! Do you have any idea what it is?
Thank you I really appreciate it! Sadly my black small clownfish died last night out of nowhere.. Was totally fine then he was on the bottom laying in the sand. Have no idea what happened totally sucks! Will try to find the cause and planning to get a black clownfish soon after I find the cause. If there is one. Doing a water change today too just because I'm going into panic mode and don't want my other clown (my first fish) or my new splendid dottyback to die or be harmed!
Hopefully he behaves for you you could try an acclimation box to test for aggression if you add more fish.
Awesome! Good to hear! Seems like your having much better luck with zoas than I ever did lol.
Sorry, I'm not big on fancy zoa names so I can't give you a name. Maybe start a new thread and someone will jump in with a name.
No worries
Ah that sucks. I'm sorry or your loss.
Did you figure out what happened?
Those are Hawaii ding dang people eaters I just got some myself yesterday here's a reference Hawaiian Ding Dang People Eater Palythoa ? Canada Corals - Toronto/Mississauga Saltwater Fish Store
Awesome! They look happy and healthy
Looks like the diatoms cleared up nicely. Your tank looks very clean!
Sorry, I missed your post.Ya it cleared up in a total of about two weeks! The tank is very clean now which helps my ocd about it haha. The zoas are already growing new heads as well!
A
Sorry, I missed your post.
Did you end up finding out what happened to that clown?
Your having much better luck than I ever did with zoas! They always died off on me lol
No worries! I believe the dottyback got aggressive and attacked him because he was down by where he would hangout. The two clowns I have now are getting along greatly and I just bought an automatic feeder and 200 w heater! One of my zoas has 7 heads the pink Maui waui one, the other is just now growing a second head. I think my candy cane coral is creating a new head. My Duncan and frogspawn haven't grown.
That sucks. Atleast the clowns are happy together.
Ah nice one! Your getting pretty good growth considering its a new tank! Candy canes will usually split one head into two, you'll notice the head shape changing slightly into an egg shape, then into an "8" sort of shape and a second mouth forming before it splits off into its own separate head.
Got any pics?
Hmmm seems like they wana sell people whatever they want to buy. Not what they can keep. I've bad experiences with LFSs like that.
That little bit of food will go a long way and spur on some nice growth!
Nice looking coral What's that green piece beneath the Duncan?
Ya this one appears to be that way because when they gave me the black clown I was like that looks pretty close to the size I got now and they were no shouldn't have any problems lol.. I knew better and got them acclimated before I put them both in the tank. Awesome Im hoping it does start to spur some new growth! It's a frogspawn!
