None of our fish fight. It's a very peaceful tank. We had issues with our Coral Beauty until we added a fish larger than her, now she's fine. Our tangs will even eat off the same seaweed clip together.
The Coral Beauty does NOT nip at any of our corals, nor has she.
Although our mandarin eats pods in the rocks, we also spot feed tigger pods weekly. We do not have a refugium attached to the tank.
Our anemones do move around a little (a very little). They have yet to sting any of our corals. Our power heads are NOT covered. (I would prefer they were, my husband will have no part of it) NOW for the pics....
Pictures are all part of a progression .... from the past 4 months.. hopefully post updates each month.
