I just got 3 square spots yesterday . The seem to be adjusting well and tonight I saw 2 of the 3 pick at some mysis so hopefully they will be ok.

Hopefully you won't have any problems adding any other fish now that you have a clown tang. They are suppose to be the biggest jerks ever.

A while back I bought 6. 3 died nearly right away and the other 3 lived happily for about 6-10 months. They just started jumping. My tank is covered but 2 of them made it out though the 1/2" gap where the door to my hood is. The other simply disappeared.

Feeding them 3x a day is best. Mine never excepted flake or pellet so I stuck with frozen.

I don't think it will be a problem, my clown tang (so far) is fairly passive. It's my yellow tang that's a bit of a jerk, however he's mostly only mean towards my clown tang. I personally think that my yellow enjoys chasing my clown tang and nipping at him every now and then. :twised:

I also think that because the anthias are smallish and shaped differently then my other fish, they probably will leave the anthias alone. I think we will be adding them to the main tank soon since they came from a good store and they all look very healthy. I'll let everyone know how it went after I add them.

We added are 3 anthias to the main tank about 2 hrs ago. They have been fine with all of the other fish, and no fish has bugged them at all. However 2 of my anthias are out in the open swimming around together as happy as can be, while the 3rd one is hiding under a rock :neutral: I tried to tell her to go find her friends however she's not listening :lol: *Update* Yippee! the 3rd one is now out and swimming with her friends.
