    after trying for a week to catch my Demon Sixline, i finally gave up and pulled all rock and coral out and caught the fish. I banished him to the sump for 3 days until i could take him to my LFS. I was able to trade him in for a Yellow Coris Wrasse. A non aggressive passive fish, that is good with parasite control, and is striking! on the positive side, I really like my new rockscape! I think its better than my previous one! Plus i made more room for my corals to spread out.

    Tank looks great, congrats on the switch, yellows have great personalities and are much more peaceful.

    He killed a firefish and helped kill a pair of clown fish and a royal gamma. He was MEAN! And he was starting to harrass my new pair of Picasso Clowns. It was time for him to go
