asylumdown is on a distinguished road

I was worried about him for the first couple of days because he was getting blown around pretty badly, and staying right up at the top in a corner where there wasn't much current. But I've had mesh socks on the vortech's and turning the pumps off at night to try and acclimate an anemone, and I think that gave him the chance to explore the tank.

Today he was all over the tank, at all levels, and didn't seem battered by the current at all, even after I took the socks off this afternoon. I have a really high flow tank (too high actually, I'm getting some weird growth patterns on corals), but he seems to have figured out where to be and when so that he's not working too hard. He actually seems to be taking a lesson from my trigger and intentionally rising up in to the current of on of the vortech's to get a boost from where he is to where he wants to go.

He seems to have found a sleep spot right in between two large colonies where he barely needs to move his fins to stay put.
