Copper Band Butterfly

You should do some wrasses. You can actually do two

I love the Mc Cosckers flasher Wrasse, and the Melenarous Wrasse.
( fairy wrasses are amazing but kinda pricy).

just make sure your tank is pretty well covered as they are jumpers

 

Ok so I went ahead and got one about 3 inches big my anenome is about 8 to 10 inches in diameter when opened and not fully opened either so Im not to worried about him but its an Australian Butterfly and I hear their the more hardier ones. Today is the second day and he seems to be getting along just fine swimming around and eating. I do have amphipods and copepods growing in my sump I seen them on the glass so that should be a good thing and as I just mentioned he is eating the frozen Mysis shrimps I blew in his face using a turkey baster lol. Ill let ya know his progress tomorrow and so forth.

 

I wanted to ask what do you mean not for beginners? Do you mean not for new tanks or new reefers.
I ask not because of arrogance but because Im a new reefer with and old tank lol so Its a little confusing. lol

 

Cool, when we get some pics?
its nice that yours is already eating frozen. That's a really good sign. Make sure you supplement your foods with vitamins.

 

I hope this doesnt sound as dumb a question as it does to me but how do I supplement the food with vitamins cause I would like to do that for all my fish.

 

If you would like a better pic maybe bigger. Maybe so you could determine what his health looks like let me know.

 

Sorry for the blurry pic he's very active and wont stay still lol
The second should be a little better

 

he looks good to me
Well, basically you just buy the Vitamins from your LFS and soak the food in them and then feed.
Kinda like when you add Garlic ( if you have ever done that before).

how's your tang behaving? no bullies?

 

Nope no bullies so far so good and no I never did the garlic soaking thing would you buy that at the LFS as well?

 

Yeah. if your LFS doesn't have it you could try some of the 3reef sponsors like Live aquaria, marine depot and Reef bulk supply.

Garlic is used when a fish is not eating to entice it to eat again.

You do it the same way. Get the food, put some water in it, then add a few drops of the garlic extract ( or vitamins).. let it soak and feed.
