Fish look great.
Tank looks awfully new. How long and how did you cycle the tank?

About a week, I’m new at this so I’m sure I’m making some mistakes. Any help would be appreciated.

That rock looks to have been around for a little while. Did you get it from an lfs ( local fish store) wet or dry?

Especially if wild caught, focus on water quality. It sounds like tank was not cycled and a risk one takes. I understand new reefer and new tank but things can go wrong with water quality. feed moderately first 4 weeks and monitor ammonia with a reliable test kit

I got it from a local store, wet. He had to photo bomb. They are so funny. They follow me wherever I go. Does the rock look healthy to you?

It doesnt look unhealthy. Just wondering for biological reasons. If its been in a running system for a while it should have all the necessary bacteria to properly cycle the ammonia in the tank.
