After having my new fish in quarantine for 10 days with no sign of illness, I decided it was best to move them into my reef tonight. During the QT period, one Chromis died early on, and yesterday one of the Helfrichi firefish was found dead and tattered. Since I'm about to fly out to Florida to speak to a club there, I didn't want to risk it with all those fish in a small water volume and no-one to change the water daily. All the fish were quick to eat at every feeding session, so they can hold ...
Just in case you didn't know my Psuedo Elongatus loves to go into the tube of my red and gold coco worm and rip its feathers off its head. It's done this dastardly deed twice today so I've put the victim in the fuge for the time being. I kinda want to get the little punk out of my reef. I've seen him nip at overturned snails too.

On checking out my tank yesterday evening, i was looking at the zoanthids... I noticed the green guys looked like they've been munched on or are wilting and the red/brown ones had a white patch on them.. Top arrow points to the "dull looking" one, right arrow points at the "injured" one white patches on the polyps (sorry for the mediocre photos, was using my phone cam) ...
