There is. I guarantee nothing will ever go as planned.

looking good mango. Ya, love my 4 stripe. Was a risk I was willing to take as well and it turned out. Have had him for 3 years now and he has never bothered a single fish, new or old. However, once I put my hand in the tank he turns into the holy terror that's in his DNA. I come out with lots of bite marks

I had a 4 stripe damsel back in the day, never been so happy to see a fish eventually die. It got to be about 2.5 inches around and bit me every time I put my hand within 18 inches of his hang out. That said, fish are hit & miss so maybe yours will be model citizens.

I have two File Fish, both don't eat aptaisia. To be fair one of them has only been in the tank over the weekend.
I'm thinking about throwing some water and aptasia covered rock in a 20 gallon to coax them to eat then move them back to the display.

Introducing Big Mac (acanthurus maculiceps). The stars aligned and for whatever reason I found one right after deciding I wanted one. I've only ever seen one more in person (same LFS a few years ago). He was very shy at the LFS and after giving him a couple days there to come out of hiding (he never did... in with some triggers that didn't like him) I took him home early. Turned out to be the right choice so far.
I added him to the tank and he did a full sprint into the glass at one end and turned around and did it one more time. Ok... HALIDES OFF. This fish can change colours! The first two were shortly after adding him, next two getting comfy in his cave, and last two cruisin'! I had to sit in the shadows about 10 feet away and with only the T5s on it's tough to shoot with my slow zoom lens: Didn't even realize the filefish was in frame. So easy to not notice the creep.

Here's a video. Again I had to shoot from quite far away so he'd come out and I also seem to have the shakes here lol.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5zQRXc7mNI Initial impressions: - I LOVE this fish - He's a big boy but so far he's a gentle giant. Only fish that took issue was my gramma who took a few runs from his hidey hole lol - He eats valonia and hair algae. Both floated by his cave and he ate'em up! - Loves nori. Kole could care less about nori... I tore a sheet up and tossed it in. He ate every piece to float past his cave while he was strictly in hiding - I'll be removing a few smaller rock piles with frags on them. I'll need to find new spots for them. I want to open up a few spots in the scape for him |
