joy and sadness in one day

So got up this morning with the hopes of getting some new corals...checked out the tank to see what placement areas i had and noticed my watanabee angel laying on her side, thought she was dead and walked up to that side of the tank and then she started swimming around so i was like whatever...picked up two corals today that i just posted for you and put the in the tank...during that time again noticed my angel sitting upright but in a cavern area and was like well she's upright at least...went to run another errand came home and had to finish placing another coral that needed to be relocated due to the new corals. Then I noticed my poor watanabe angel upside down in the corner...she was still alive, my tomini tang making runs into the corner and picking at her and then she laid flat on the sandbed...figured that was it and pulled her out, felt bad doing it that she was still breathing but felt it was for the better...did notice when I had her in the net it looked as if she had a bruise mark on her head area but that wasn't visible while she was in the tank...maybe wasn't but about a yr and a half ago lost the male watanabe to a large sore on his side, at least they're together now.

 

and i thought i got a bargain on the corals...$100 for the two pieces and some live rock to set them on.

 

Sad news on the Angel , Muggle
but those 2 nice corals should hopefully get you focused on the positives pretty quickly

Very sad to hear about the fish, but great pick ups with a sweet price.

 

Sorry for your loss. It sucks losing fish. But on the bright side very nice corals.

 

yah that puts me down to only 5 fish in a 120g but at least they have plenty of space, no overstocking and just am leary about adding fish as my tangs are somewhat tempermental, my six line is a littleB and everyone says my niger trigger will be a force to be reckoned with, but im good to let it just keep on going as is

 

Sorry for the loss, congrats on the beautiful corals at a great price.

 

Corals look great. So sorry about your fish.

 

It is a bittersweet thread. Awesome new corals at a great price, but I am sorry to hear that your fish died.

 

How long did u have the angels for, respectively? I lost 3 angels since I started. 2 of them just refused to eat until they finally died and the last one was unknown cause of death. I just woke up one day and he was on his side on the sand bed.

I really like your new corals! Nice picks.
