When to Move Leather

When should I move these guys?

I have a toadstool leather coral that hosts my pair of clowns in my existing 80 gallon aquarium.

I will eventually be moving them to a 280 gallon mixed reef I’m setting up. My cycle is complete in the new tank. I am in the ugly stage with some green hair algae but that is receding nicely. So far I have some snails and 4 green chromis doing well in the new tank.

I don’t want to rush the move but I do want them to go into my new tank before other fish so they get comfortable and to hopefully minimize any bullying from tangs I plan to have in the new tank eventually. These are my prized pets and want it to go well. Think I need some advice and maybe encouragement LOL.

Would appreciate any advice!

The only reason to not move them is if your parameters fluctuate. If the parameters are stable, though, I say go for it.

Thanks so much! So far stable. I think I’m going to wait one more week then go for it.
