lol I love how we have the zoanthids for reference! I added a pair of banded pipefish over a week ago and one died a few days in but the other seems to be doing well and is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. It's always cool to have a fish or two in your tank that you don't see all the time because then when you do it's a nice surprise

They were eating live food primarily still so they will definitely be pod focused and should have way more than enough.
Good news is they were both still hanging together and alive at the end of the day.
I know right? If got a different one it would probably be the dragon face since they are quite a bit bigger by comparison and lay on the rock where these will just keep swimming.

I wonder if I should be concerned about the extra bio load

No, he just needs a larger tank.
Ryan who did you purchase those little beauties from?

Working hard or hardly working? I'll get back to work after sharing!
I've been looking for a blueface/yellow mask for some time and the current shipping environment hasn't made it easy. Thankfully I was able to pick up a beautiful specimen ~2.5" that is doing great, grunting, eating, etc.
My Achilles is also completely ick free (has always been) and getting very fat. It still has no interest in any meaty foods and will only graze the rock work and nori. Also, almost zero aggression after the first night which has been lucky.

He's free! Almost no aggression other than the Achilles turned it's chest super white but it was mild and short lived.
I expected the white tale tang to be an issue since it's slightly bigger but it was more interested in its reflection of the newly cleaned glass.

Both beautiful! I would love either of them.
Fingers crossed you won the angel lottery for coral safe.

Right?! ... hoping to outgrow its appetite at least. It will likely start to show itself soon as it became best friends with everyone within an hour so it's left alone to "taste".

It's tasted nearly everything but...

My large space invader pectina has been gobbed on a few times... how fast it heals over those skeleton spots I'd think would be a good indicator if I have to remove it.
Everything is looking good! Fingers crossed the angel stays more or less well behaved for you.

One month in... the blueface is still behaving. Saw it nip at a couple zoa last week but then nothing. So far it's behaved itself by all accounts.

What angel??? I just see a gorgeous colt coral.

Finally got the beast and hooked up... one thing a few people suggested is to leave the bottom section empty next time. All the sludge can just accumulate there and ignore it.
Now to clean up all the connections once the leak test is done.

Still kicking the gobstoppers... how long can they possibly survive without being eaten?

I kalk pasted some zoa to make some room.
Ol' blueface hasn't hardly touched a zoa but he REALLY became interested in those that were dying.
