    Don't mind the salt and tracks in the algae :)

    It's kinda weird, my ocellaris clown kinda bodyguards him. Follows him around the tank, scouts out the area around, and doesn't let other fish get too close to him. You guys see any odd interactions with your rainfords and other fish?

    So... the little guy is swimming around this morning and looking better. He was "grey" when I put him in the water last night. I think it was the shock bringing him home. He was happy and eating this am :)

    Was your Rainsford eating by sifting sand and picking at rocks, or taking prepared foods? Mine doesn't take Instant Ocean Omnivore gel or frozen mysis, which everything else in the tank does.
