OK here she is in all her photo-shy glory
Dmitry - Greenex is reef safe BUT, I did kill a clam overdosing it once. It is made by the same company that makes Formalin II etc.
In terms of how I introduce them to the tank, by the time I have done the acclimation process, very little of the water it traveled in is going into my tank, so, I don't stress that either. As for the "letting them swim in themselves" - most people acclimate and then drop the fish in, WHat I do is slowly dump out water and let water into the container I am holding the fish in and each time, I lower the edge doen so that eventually I am virtually submerged in the tank. Eventaully, the fish figures out, that there is an exit behind them and they slowly peek out and swim out. I have found that this process doesn't send them shotting under the rocks although, I am sure it has to do with what kind of fish it is. My CBB swam out like he was in the tank for years, worked his way over to the rock, and immediately nipped out a bristle worm - I was so stoked.
Blue Jaw swam to the far corner and held there, slowly working further out - then my sailfin came over and slapped her around, so, she hid under the rocks - she was out a little today getting right into the mix with feeding Nori, so, I am not worried about her and being able to "hang" - Triggers, however, like Hippo Tangs, are known to hide when freaked.
Oh, she also was eating spiriluna flakes today, so I am guessing she will be fine.
Enjoy
