| Star Polyps | Re: He's here!!!!!!!!! Looking good Kathy!! I'm sure he/she will do well for you. I agree with the acclimation advice, in the future at least 2 hr acclimation would be advisable. More because of the salinity differences than the temperature. We keep our salinity around .0024-.0025 and fish can be very senistive to quick changes in salinity. Trust me I speak from experience. If you have some rocks or something he can hide under that would help him settle down and not be so freaked out. I hope he likes your hair algae, they have been munching on my chaeto which none of my other tangs touch. I got a really cool gray eibli mimic tang yesterday that I'll have to post pics of. |

 )... and thanks for the fish! (he he) I have been wanting to put SOMETHING in there, maybe not more rock but something for them to hide in... I'll pick up something tonight I think. He's scoping out more and more of the tank, pretty much assessing that nothing in there is a threat to him. The clown and chromis are several times smaller than him. I would assume he'd be CB because would a scopas and yellow do that in the wild???
