Spent 6 hours yesterday cleaning the 280 and taking down a 30gal IM that housed some LPS & pair bullet hole clowns. I had to prep the refuge for the bullet holes, so the Red Ball of Death was booted to the skimmer section of the sump. Will post a pic, looks happy in the new digs.
Then I noticed the largest and prettiest of my coris wrasses. It was not acting normally and there were faint damaged areas to its middle section. Luckly, I could catch it easily and quickly assembled a hospital 7gal. It appears to have an injured spine...not bite marks or as I had thought power head damage. IDK what happened to it, bad nose dive into the sand? I am bumbed. It is so fat and pretty, but can't seems to locate food, flops over, occasionally does circles.
Now thinking that the 30gal should be set up for qt tank for another couple coris wrasses.
