It will get used to it, mine did

My little Fire Clown looks like it's had some Botox injections. It could put Angelina Jolie to shame. It has been trying to host with my large bubble coral and I think maybe it got stung in the mouth. Lips are huge and very pale. Has anybody any experience with this or could it be something else?

We need pics of those frags you mentioned....not to sure about your clowns issue...are they just swollen or do they appear "flaky"?

I'll post up some pics soon. It's lips are swollen, and pale in colour but not flaky.

Update: with lots of pics

The tank is now 6 months old, and after spending a fortune on rock, corals and fish it still looks half empty. Oh well, in time it will fill in.

I moved the Kole Tang over from the 90 gal because he was getting pretty big for that tank. I was a little worried how the Sailfin would react so I put the Kole in after lights out. Next morning when the lights went on the SF went right after him. Nasty fighting, but the SF got the worst of it as the Kole is a little bigger. Then the Tuskfish gets in on the act and bites a large gash in the side of the Kole. (This is the first time I have seen any aggression from the Tuskfish). The Kole hid out for most of the day after that. Next morning everybody is uneasy, but no more fighting. It's amazing how fast fish can heal. The gash on the Kole was an open wound 3 days ago. Now, you can see it has mostly healed already. They are all getting along now.




My poor little Fire Clown has swollen lips. It has been trying to host to the large Bubble Coral and I think it may have gotten stung in the mouth. It's been 3 or 4 days like this now. The clown acts normally and is eating well, but its lips are still swollen up. Anybody seen anything like this before?

And the rest of the fishes:









Lamarcks Angel: reef safe my ass! Here it is picking at corals; it's pretty well killed this one. Little Bastard!
