Totally nuts
I don’t know what happened he just went all Charles Manson. Schooling fish tough to keep. The two blue green damsels are fine after they killed the third one........ Cardinals been together for a long time and maintained pecking order only not blood rage were great to watch sharing a cave since day one. Lesson learned for me. Singles from no’s on
I seriously think that is just how it is. With many, many species any sign of weakness in ones competitors is capitalized on to ensure ones own survival. Survival of the fittest.

Happy Tuesday! For those who were following during the great Damsel extraction battle I am having flashbacks.....
This One Spot Cardinal is smart and skittish half hour masstick near top of glass and everyone but big red came to eat with net in water. Going to try again near lights out to get him were he sleeps with a blast of full whites to daze him.
Good news is he's only trying to kill his own not aggresive towards anyone else yet.
He has been getting grief back from Clown and foxface chasing him.

You will get him. Patience and build trust with you, net and evil.
I will be up your way over the weekend. I will bring my trap as a back up.

Very true. Tangs are big opportunist when a fish is sick or injured they will take advantage of any species. My little experience most wrasse do it to other wrasse.

Thanks! Hope it will be smooth going

TY Pancho pretty pleased with how it was looking tonight

Gratzi some outlets off as I move stuff around and reprogram
Ok gotcha. If you don’t use an outlet it’s best to leave it on auto and program the outlet to be always off that’s why I asked.

Nice! Is that the Cardinal of Death I see?
Lol yes it is! Front and center when I’m not after him the big jerk! He may be smarter than the blue devil Damsel challenge Accepted!
