My orange shoulder and my hippo do the same thing and always have. I did a dip on both, but nothing. Come to find out, quite a few others have had this happen with both fish.

My orange shoulder does this as well.

my foxface does this.
i think it's trying to evolve.

Lost a foxface and a male swallowtail doing the exact same thing. They did it for months. Noticed they wasn't eating as much and both got skinny before they died. It wasn't too long after the tang started. He does it with pellets, nori and frozen mysis. Treated the tank with 2 doses of prazi back to back with no changes. My QT is only a 20 gal. Probably not big enough.

4 years ago vs today....

Same clowns, they got a few upgrades from that rescue tank. Trying to dig up the day I took the tank photo....

Also, update: cbb switched back corners from last night to this morning. And snagged a couple tiny pieces of food when I fed this morning. It's a step, hopefully out and about more soon

Found them. Picked this tank up Jan 3, 2018 from a friend who'd left it at her moms when she moved out. We couldn't see in it.

I unfortunately didn't take a pickup photo but I have the next day. At this point I'd already cleaned the glass and done an additional water change from the night before (we replaced about half the water the night I brought it home). Looks like I took a few as it settled and cleared up throughout the day.

She also had a marineland freshwater led on it, with 75% of the diodes burned out, but she gave me this, which I got functioning bulbs into and ran instead, much better.

Tank looks awesome. You come a long way in just 4 years. I've been reefing since 2005 and my tank doesn't look that good.

Alright. We're swimming the back wall a little bit today. Still not venturing out into the main tank though.

I think the melanurus is getting concerned... When the cbb was hiding in the corner he kept swimming back to check on him.

Watching now & every time the cbb picks a spot to settle, the melanurus comes and hangs out nearby again.

Mp40 on like half power on one side, return on like half power spitting up the other side

sometimes i change the currents up for a few days to change things up on the fish if they are being prickly to a newbie.
also, save some mysis for the morning before the lights are on.
my cbb never sleeps. and i mean never. it eats when i'm feeding the suns and the chili's early morning before lights on.

The house lights up well before the tank lights up due to "sun" and other sources of ambient light I'll try to beat it tomorrow and do that but it's been cold every morning so leaving the bed is difficult.

Flow is on random though, idk how close it a formula that follows.

Front right corner! Making rounds

Those are some awesome pics. What camera are you using? What are the settings?

Pixel 4xl. Some with the orphek orange& yellow filters stacked, no additional adjustments. Some with just the orange that comes with the avast marine porthole & tint adjusted fully adjusted up. My pixel *loves* to pull blue, even though to the naked eye my blues aren't even noticable.

Pixels seem to do pretty darn well.

Got some filters for Christmas. I guess I'm gonna miss some of the football game taking pics of my tank.

They do, I'd like to get a "real" camera though

As I mentioned before, we got the tank free from an LFS, used. My incredibly talented husband built a new stand and canopy - as well as a matching cabinet because the one that came with was falling apart and white. Here's a few photos as it was starting up.... Mostly to show off his skills.

I'm loving the towel rod. I need to do that so I can stop getting yelled at for wetting her floors. LOL
