Hi I am new to saltwater. I have a custom 70G acrylic - 125 wet/dry w/modified sump (wet/dry inside 20L glass tank), running a CADLights Pipeless Protein Skimmer, Green Machine UV Sterilizer.
We used live sand and about 80 lbs of live rock (both natural and Real Reef). Have typically cleaner package and a coral banded shrimp. Started with two Sebae Clowns and an anemone. One Sebae brutally beat up the other. Removed the aggressive and returned to store. The other healed and we began to put in other fish - Desjardini Sailfin and Blonde Naso - every got along okay. Added two pajama cardinals, a diamond goby and a yellow watchman goby. Pretty sure that the clown killed one of the cardinals and violently attacked the yellow goby. The yellow goby died yesterday I believe from the harassment. We took the last Sebae clown back to the store because he was being aggressive towards everything in the tank, including snails.
My diamond goby also died but we didn't see the clown attack him at all, so not sure what caused his death. Interestingly, my Desjardini Sailfin Tang is now protecting the rose bulb anemone and what looks like looking for the sebae clown. Is this normal? We got a percula clown to replace the sebae clown and the sailfin won't let him near the anemone.
We have lost a lot of fish this week. So we are pausing for a few weeks. Will the pajama cardinal that is left be okay with no friends? or should we get him another cardinal. He stays in one corner and is eating but won't come out to swim the tank.
Sorry for so many questions.
