    This idea came to me when I was thinking about the problems we incur with aclimating new fish when we don't have a hospital tank. I've wanted a Copperband Butterfly but they are tough to get to eat and with three tangs and two angels they tend to get bullied. The other problem is diseases and ich that may not show up right away. So I had a half a sheet of eggcrate sitting around and some tie downs. Of course you shouldn't use any metal like wire hangers to go in your tank. So here it is in a video I took tonight with the moonlights on.

    fish looks like he's a convict. doesnt look happy.. could use it for corals that are getting picked on too, for recovery time.
