;Woot
Better safe than sorry.
It does not look too small/big. Just the right size.

It is the same size as my scopas tank, 3 inch fish maybe, the scopas has shape issues with it but just posturing mostly.
I like to watch fish in the shop to see if they still have their natural grazing instinct, this did, it started grazing the rocks within 5 minutes of going in, all be it in a shaded corner for the first half an hour. ;)
Now just swimming around, exploring and grazing! :)

Oh and it cost me three rasta frags, the lepto was sold! :p

You don't worry about it nipping your LPS?

Not really, that is why I look for natural grazing behaviour, I have enough flora and fauna or whatever that is in the tank to feed it naturally, it will get used to my food hopefully, it won't starve.
It shouldn't see coral as food! ;)

Thanks, currently being subjected to tag team harassment from the two tangs, 1 and 2 in the pecking order, just had a very uncomfortable hour but things are calming down a bit now, I have a net on standby! ;)
I would love to get a CBB for my system, but I don't think my tangs would accept it. :(

Horrible hour watching both tangs kick off at it on and off, top two in the pecking order it is slowly calming down.
With my 5 tangs in a fairly small tank, I won't even give it a try.

Oh... shhhhh… don't tell anyone but the Trachy opened!!! Waiting for better lighting to get a picture. Lights are still way too blue.

... and the bad!
It took me 45 minutes after work to get the fish trap wet, it took me another 45 minutes to catch the vampire tang.
Removing the tang has been on the cards for 3 or 4 months, I have never seen aggression like it, it has a new home to go to.
The cbb has stopped grazing and is just glass surfing, I thought it would be the scopas that was more annoyed!

He may have been protecting your bouncy squishies!

Hopefully the CBB will recover.
