    I guess it was love at first sight. I still really like her, but I want a reef tank more. She was an impulse. So the decision is to bring "Elsie" back to the shop. I knew she might eat some of the inhabitants, BUT NOT ALL OF THEM. Right down to scraping coriline off rocks with her teeth.

    They're also known for releasing toxins into the tank when stressed. Stressing very easily. Always research fish list prior to buying. I'tll save heartache and money.

    Yeah, I knew better! I was so hesitant buying any fish yet for this new tank, then, I saw her. The good news, The shop owner was soooo cool. He let me trade the fish for a LR/with a tree coral on it, which was $4 more than the fish,and he didn't charge me for it. So it's all good.
