I am gonna hurt my Tang!!!!

My Blue Regal Tang is pissing me off!! He keeps grabbing my Small Birdnest Frags off of the rack, and dropping them down to the sand!!! Has anyone else experienced this?

 

haha he doesn't want it there! He's wondering why you keep putting it back up there! I don't know about tangs, but my midas blenny likes to rearrange things.

 

No... But my regal bounces himself off my Brain corals for fun ... PITA!

 

Sounds like putty time.

 

I just said that to the wife....I dont know where I want them yet, I wanted to add more Acros first.

 

I know where you are at. I am slowly getting my 75 build done so I don't want to putty my corals in place in the 26 but am doing it with the ones the cleaning crew is knocking around. You can pop the putty loose with a screw driver when you decide on final locations.

 

Thanks for sharing that info as I too have a fish or two that like to knock over frags but I didn't want to make them permanently glued in place since some will go into a bigger tank later plus am still trying to figure out where I want them & waiting for more rock too.

 

I had a small colony of Zoanthids that I kept finding on the sand bed
eventually caught the YTB grabbing it with its mouth and pushing and pulling at it until if fell of the rock work

definitely a territorial issue, they dont always express these sentiments just with other fish

+1 on the epoxy or putty - I use a pea sized ball for initial placing - secure against snails, crabs and houseproud fish - but with a small piece you can normally break it off by hand when you want to secure the frag elsewhere

Maybe that his spot and he don't want it there lol. I glue eveything cause my fish don't pay attention to what there.

 

Hahaha...no its not his spot...he just is the one that likes to carry stuff around the tank..I glued everything onto the reef this weekend!
