    I just got home with 2 new additions to one of my old tanks but I needed to remove a few Damsels. Unfortunately with all of the live rock they were difficult to catch and i ended up moving stuff around and SERIOUSLY stirring up the water. The tank is REALLY cloudy right now and it has already been 1.5 hours since i left the LFS with the 2 new additions.
    What should i do? Will adding them while the water is still cloudy stress them out?
    I have a HOB filter running right now to help while the water settles.

    They should be fine, it might avoid potential bullying because the fish can't see them LOL;)

    +1 on above

    plus, disturbing the tank would have spooked the residents so they will be less likely to be in bullying mode anyway
