Nice to see the tank again! Fingers crossed for Luxo and Shark Bait.

To deal with the excessive hair algae, I decided to get a molly. Currently in a quarantine tank and will be slowly acclimated to saltwater, before going into the tank this weekend. Should be interesting to see how this plays out with Luxo. I’m hoping she leaves it alone, but I’m counting on having to rehome the molly to my 40B almost immediately.
Any updates? Did Sharkbait make it back in with Luxo?

Oh man, totally forgot to provide an update on that! Yes, Sharkbait recovered well under the antibiotic and I reintroduced him a week later. Haven’t noticed any problems since.

Finished acclimating the Molly to saltwater and he’s now in the 13.5. Keeping him in an acclimation box until the clowns and him are adjusted to each other.

So this happened:
I have no idea how the molly even managed to get out of the acclimation box, but he must have been really determined to do so! I guess we’ll just have to wait and see how Luxo handles it. Right now she gives warning strikes whenever he approaches the anemone, but I don’t see any signs of overly belligerent behavior yet.

A couple split fins later, and I realized that this wouldn’t work out long term, so I moved the molly into the 40B. While the intention was to try a tankmate that was inexpensive and therefore wouldn’t be a huge loss if things went sideways, I wound up getting attached to the little fish over the past few days, so intervened before things got any worse. Oh well, worth a shot. I guess I’ll just have to continue manually removing the hair algae.

So I put one of my urchins from my 40B into the Fluval to take care of some algae for a bit, and it randomly died. That stinks…

Added a bunch of macro algae to the tank, as well as some fan worms and a skunk cleaner shrimp!
The shrimp also already molted, and the clowns don’t seem to mind him being around.
