    ... but I don't.

    Saw an Eibli Mimic Tang on Diver's Den - rare fish - and had to have it.

    And I wanted free shipping so I added:

    - A pair of tank bred Bangai's
    - A Midas Blenny
    - A Peppermint Acropora frag

    I think it makes sense to order all that to get the free shipping. Don't you? My wife loves Midas Blennies so it should all be OK.

    They will be fine in either of your tanks. Congratulations! :)

    Unfortunately I can't put the tang in the mixed reef side because the powder blue will kill him.

    He's going into the sps side with the purple and sailfin who, despite their species' reputations, are far more welcoming of new arrivals. Heck the sailfin doesn't even notice them any more. The cardinals will join him there.

    The Midas goes into the other tank since I've already got a Starry in the sps tank and he will be well under the radar of the powder blue.

    i love the mimic eibl tangs. My LFS has has 3-4 Juveniles in this year. Just don't care much for the adult coloration lol. Great pick up. I've splurged for free shipping a time or two.

    I actually really like the adult coloration - depends on the individual tho.

    You've got such a big heart for taking those fish and coral in. If it weren't for you then they would have gone to someone less experienced and for sure wouldn't have made it. You saved them.
    Was that good enough moral support?
