Claudio, thank you for your support. I was able to save most by fragging what I can however these FW knows their money pieces well. They attacked the most expensive ones first.

No worries, I am now hunting for specific corals but won't be addingvany for at least another two months or so...

This looks like a ton of work. Hope it works out for you. I'm starting to think my non qt habits are going to have to change.

I had a rurally talked about getting a frag tank for some time... the cost to replace all the corals ( from what i paid when i bought them as frags or mini colonies) compared to the cost of a new barebones set up ( less the lights) was cheaper than having to re buy everything. Therefore, the frag tank was going to be my insurance policy... Price of procrastination... Should have listened to my instincts then.

Funny you asked... Just had my first casualty... The six line had decided to venture his way down to the sump and got to know the vertex omega skimmer... The skimmer was making all kinds of weird sounds and was not skimming properly... I took the omega out and cleaned her all up incl the pump and found the six line wedged in the intake nozzle. Guess he Got to know the skimmer too well. Dumb fish! However, the other three wrasses are doing great! The yellow coris, labouti, and melanerus are swimming, and have no problems eating pellets. Rich, thanks for taking good care of them for me! Now thinking of going with just wrasses in the tank. Hmmmm may change my name to wrasse reef lol. Greg, and a big thanks for baggin the fish up for me over at Rich's! You've earned your keep of that gorgeous gorg!
