Welcome welcome!

What a Beautiful aquarium! Your fish look extremely happy and healthy, and I love seeing the anemones scattered around!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I added another actinic bulb so the tank looks much bluer now it was a little to white, I did not have my camera handy so the pictures are a week or so old.

The female maroon clown does not like the puffer at all and chases it I think it is trying to defend its anemonies or maybe it just doesn't like it lol. If they dont work it out the puffer will probably have to go.

Did you purchase your Chevron Tang when it had juvenile colors? If so, how long did it take to start the change to adult colors? Was it a fast change once it started or did it take awhile? I've never seen one transition to adult colors and have always been interested. Thanks!

Unfortunately I did not see it go through its change, I got the yellow tang, PB and Chevron tang from someone who was breaking down the tank.

I have had them about 4 weeks and they get along fine, the PO did strongly advise me not to add any more tangs as they would probably fight.
