Hey Wayne,

Well he's not teeny tiny but he's small about 2in I kinda measured him well he was out eating lol. But no non of my fish chase him at all, I have a VERY unusally calm and peaceful orchid dotty, she never harasses anyone even when they GO IN HER CAVE lol as my lovely lil percs, like to go in and out of the shell the dottyback lives in. She never really cares. Kinda strange as others I've seen are extremely territorial. So no one is chasing or harrassing my Blue tang, I want to put some more LR in, I guess the more hiding places he has maybe the more secure he'll feel and come out more. He's such a beautiful blue tang, so nice and thick and bright, if I could get a picture I'd post it. I really appreciate all the advice thank you,

Merry Christmas,
Jennifer

Tiny regals are skitterish. Maybe adding another live rock that has a place for it to hide will help.

Sometimes new reefers approach the tank frequently searching for the new addition and unwittingly stress the fish. If you are doing this, stay your distance until the tang gets used to you approaching the tank and when you do feed and she will get the idea. (If she is one of those tiny ones you need to feed her a little but feed often and see she is getting some.

Merry Christmas
