    Also, you would probably have to do a 100% water change when you were done! (Not good for your reef tank)

    I wouldn't risk it on my own tank even if it was okay for the reef.

    Train your fish to eat frozen food from your hand with a large net in the tank while they eat, edge it up under them, you'll get them eventually.


    Also, never buy damsels I guess it's too late for that one tho lol.

    It's a pity they turn into jerks when they get older because they are pretty and usually relatively inexpensive. I like them as well but just don't care for how they turn out. Chromis are the exception, I have never had any issues with mine.
