First fish moved in tonight. Red fuzzy lion moved over, and what a hassle! Freakin fish jumped right as I brought the net up from underneath and flew through the small opening I was working in. No pics, cause he is stressed and hiding since the move.

Only three more to get, and they aren't going to be much better I am afraid.

Well, update time. Sadly the red fuzzy didn't make it through the move. Once in the 180 it never ate and just looked ragged. Ended up with a fin tear and almost looked like fun rot.

About a week later I moved the other fish over. Talk about a pain! Fish that have venomous spines and are over the 7-8" length shouldn't be handled! But they made it and are doing well. Settling in nicely. Apparently I spooked the Inimicus, as he was buried in the sand till I walked up. Then he flared and shows me the business end of the spines.

Thanks! There are a few corals in there in the center and a couple shrooms too. Gonna add some macro from a grow out tank shortly. It is mainly for my preds, so the lighting is more minimal. While it really looks centered in the pic, it broadcasts more in person.
