I have 2 Oscellaris Clowns one large female and one small male and was thinking of taking out the large Female. I am hoping the BiColor Blenny and Flame Angel start eating the frozen food. I have seen the Clown chase the Blenny. The Blenny and Angel both just pick at the rock so they are eating something. Would anyone else remove the clownfish to take a chance that the Angel and Blenny will be more comfortable and eat? I could get a new smaller clownfish and hope for the best. I might wait a week though since the Blenny and Angel are new and see if they eventually start to eat. I might get some live brine tomorrow and see if that helps. Keep the mean clown or not? I don't know how long the other fish can live without me seeing them eat frozen. The blenny looks a little thin and has verticle white stripes that come and go.
Thanks,
Adam
 
Why don't you give us some information on the tank and inhabitants? If you have enough liverock the blenny should be fine, and the angel may just be eating on natural sponges in the rockwork.
Also... no point in posting the exact same post in 2 forums, spamming is somewhat rude.
 
Flame Angel

I have a 46 gallon 2 years old with 10 lbs of Live sand and 60 LBS of LR. 1 mandarin, 2 oscellaris 1 small male and 1 large female, Bicolor blenny, and a Flame Angel. Mixed corals and hermits, snails and a serpent star. ph is 7.9-8.2, ALk is 7-8, Calcium is 440, Temp is 77-78, no NO3. I got some live brine today I will try. The Blenny and Angel are both picking at the Rock but I dont know how long they can do this without eating prepared foods.
Adam Sorry for posting twice
