Same! Love that fish. Hate that he killed my Wilsoni. I’m in the process of catching it now. Not easy.Flame Angel!!!!!!!!!! I knew there was a risk going into my reef tank but had seen dozens in person and have friends with no issues............. I got the 1 that loved LPS, specially expensive rainbow acans. He whipped out my LPS. I recently moved so he was pulled from tank and will never try any angel or (WITH RISK) fish again.
I just screamed a little. LolTailspot Blenny....placed in my nano...after a week of hiding in rocks it came out and nested on one of my 3 scolys, which at first I thought was cute. Two days later the scoly was stressed and I could see some of the skeleton. Didn't put 2 & 2 together until a few days later second scoly was stressed and I saw a string of poop stuck to the blenny the same color as the scoly. All 3 scoly were placed in my main and the 2 made a full recovery. The Blenny, not so much...made a trap from a water bottle and it went down the toilet.
That is why a quality silicon tank has small glass strips glued over the corners.Shortspine urchin. Ate the silicone out of the corners of the tank (trying to get to algae I assume).
At least it was a cheap 55g, but I’ll never get another one, especially with a rimless tank.
How big is this tank? And % of swimming space?Chromis and damsels. Think after a month they own the tank and good luck trying to catch and remove them from tank
I hope it was only the bottle!?Tailspot Blenny....placed in my nano...after a week of hiding in rocks it came out and nested on one of my 3 scolys, which at first I thought was cute.

I'm convinced they killed my tracyphillia. Every time I tried to feed it, they were all over it and it deflated. I eventually caught them but they are fast and smart.peppermint shrimp.
they ate my ricordeas and zoas.

Sexy Shrimp...not so sexy when they decided my acans were lunch

In the remote past, 15 years ago, I have a Sixline pair and Mandarin pair in a 420. All four fishes (Sixline and Mandarin) coexisted for at least 1 year, and were spawning regularly in my tank. One day the Sixline pair attacked the female Mandarin. The attack last about 15 second and happened right in front of my eyes. Over so quickly that I cannot do anything about it. The wrasse took one pass each, one go for the R eye and the other one go for the L eye of the female Mandarin. After that they completely ignored the blinded Mandarin, and her mate. She starved and become emaciated. There was no hope of recovery, I euthanized her after 2 weeks. I was lucky enough to caught the two Sixline and traded them in for another female Mandarin.
It is all instinct, but it seem to be instinct from Satan-Spawned fish for me. I vowed never put another Sixline wrasse into my tank again, even for free.
