That's what I may end up doing, it's kind of out of any flow at the moment though, so I may have to get a little handheld powerhead. That's what I was thinking, except I've had it for a few weeks already. Do they still move around after that?

There's this nice RBTA that I got that had settled in the front of the tank, nice to look at, easy to see. But as of this morning, it decided to move behind that rock. Normally I'd be ok with an anemone moving, but now that it's in the back you can't really see it and it's going to be a pain to feed. Is there any way to 'entice' it to move back up front?

Yeah, that looks like red macroalgae. I have it taking over half of my tank...Tangs are supposed to love it but my tank's too small...

Awesome tank and pictures...especially like the 4 clownfish crowded together in the anemone.

Really nice tank, can't wait to see the emperor when it's older.

Same thing happened to my midas. They spook pretty easily apprently. Hope the regal gets better!

+1 I have one (Being moved to the display tank as we speak) and he's very nice. Swims around all the time.

Alright, will do. My next mission: Catching the flasher wrasse and hoping he doesn't jump out of the net.

A flasher wrasse that's probably 2 times the size of the six line

The 6 line is probably the only remotely aggressive fish. There's a pair of ocellaris clowns, but they generally just stay near their anemone, which isn't where the gramma's hanging out.

So I added a royal gramma to the tank last night, and they're supposed to be easy fish. I couldn't find him last night, and I kind of dismissed it since they are somewhat secretive. Then when I feed the tank, I see him, and he's not looking good. The fish looks extremely stressed, and it looks like someone nipped at his back dorsal fin (the one without the spot). He ate, which is a good sign, but I'm wondering if it's just traveling stress or a bully. I'm kind of leaning towards the six-line, since I know they can be bullies. I have another fish that's in the QT ready to go into the main tank. Should I let the gramma settle in more or should I bring the other fish up to spread the aggression around? Or does someone need to go?

A refugium will help. Also feeding less or doing larger/more water changes might have an effect.

+1 That's what I love about wrasses, they never stop moving.

Welcome to the club! And I know how you feel with a 46 bow, it's all I'm going to have for awhile.

Marine Scene and Petland are both good stores, their staff is knowledgable and they have a pretty large selection.

Grrr...I want to get rid of some of it, but if it's something that people with tangs and such want, then I'll give it to them, but if it's dragon's breath...

It breaks up easily if I pull it out, which is why I kind of thought gracilaria, but it looks like dragon's breath. And yes, it moved right there...on top of a paly.

I've always been an animal person. When I was a little younger, I wanted snakes and spiders and all those other critters. Instead I got a fish tank. I don't regret that at all. It's like having a little piece of the ocean that we can cherish and learn from. I just like it.

That's what I thought at first too, but when I looked at pictures of gracilaria, it looked a lot branchier than this...

So I honestly can't decide what this is. I'm somewhat leaning towards Dragon's Breath Macroalgae, but I'm honestly not sure. Any thoughts?
