    Batfish is so sweet. First 3 days, he did nothing but sit under some live rock. Then on the 4th day he took a bite of a live black worm. I could see the light bulb go off in his head.....he was off to the races looking for more. He still would only go just out of his little 'area', but now he's eating frozen mysis and moving all over the place to find food. The pic isn't of mine but he looks just like it. I need to change my icon so it my pinnatus in there.

    well I know forsure your tangs are all reef safe. The flame hawk is also reef safe as far as corals go. and the Angel may or may not nip (depending on his personality) but the batfish is not reef safe. But then again if your mushroom is doing ok then add a couple at a time, as this may be a type of coral he chooces to leave be.


    There are many ways to dose calcium some more advanced then other but a simple way would be manual dosing. I use reef calcium by seacem. just add a teaspoon twice a week.
