Ok, the R scopas ( time out for newer viewers, S Scopas = scopas coloured scopas.
Y Scopas is yellow scopas.
R Scopas is the hlle Rescue scopas.
B is the baby scopas, it just took me about 5 minutes to catch it in a small glass in the puddle, now also in the cube end with the R scopas.

Does that make any sense at all? ;)

Both tangs took flake this morning, no damage to either so that bit appears to have worked.
I am going to move the trap slightly to give the flame angel enough room to get in the display, she will go in and out of the trap once it is back in place and hopefully it will encourage the s scopas to go and have a look.
Big guy / girl. :)

Ok, 14-05 hrs, fish trap moved but only about an inch, the braver fish will be going between ends but all the scopas tangs will be nervous.
I have two nets on standby.
I am in no rush for the introduction to happen, the longer it takes the more used to the cube end the two new girls will be in case it kicks off.
I will put the trap back in place for the night.

From the front, it is angled towards the desk end view. :)

Fish, ok scopases update.
All hell broke loose but in a cool way, rescue came in to the display and interacted with the original two, frisky but no aggression.
... and then the big guy became over frisky and it kicked off again, end result is I have the S scopas in the cube with the b scopas and the other two are in the display, lights off, who the hey thought this was a good idea? ;)

I watched the tank like a hawk earlier as the lights started up for when the s scopas went into the cube, I removed the net from the swim through before I went to bed.
The new ones were in the cube together this morning, no damage.
When the s scopas went through into the cube I got up and went across the room away from the tank to watch, ... nothing! :)
There is a noticeable change in the fish dynamic in the display this morning, the two originals have been frisky in a good way, the y scopas has come out of her shell a bit.
The aip file fish has been in the display this morning which is very unusual and the flame angel has been pestering it like "you don't belong in here!" ;)
Nets still on standby!

Some corals all from the front view.
Behind this part there is a piece that is loose, no idea how it happened, I have to put my hand in later anyway to clean something, see below and they are next to each other so I will grab it.

This used to be a carpet of red polyps but it hates the fact the the ycg uses it as a perch.
I will grab the makeup brush (soft and gentle around coral flesh) and clear the cyano.

I need to have a play with my white balance just for the LA Lakers monti as I can't catch the purple of the polyps.

Sad day today, my final aiptasia, Fred, is no more, it was the closest one to the desk and happy as a happy thing yesterday, the aip file has basically worked it's way across the tank, time to take it back, my lfs wants it for their display. ;)
