Need to find hopefully temporary home

[tankjunky]

I have a baby blue tang and when I looked at it today it was beeten very badly, Ive had it for almost seven days now and suddenly it looks like something is trying to eat it, I dont know if its my bicolor angel or not but I need to find a home for it.

Im hoping to be able to get a 120 soon and if I do I would like it back but if I cannot then it will be yours to keep. If I do take it back I can trade corals, dont have very much, or I can pay you some cash.

I'd take it...but if you put it in mine you'd never get it back out. I have a 210 with lots of hidey spots...lol.

Out of curiousity what do you mean by "it looks like something is trying to eat it"? Can you post a pic of it?

I'm pretty sure there's a 90% failure rate for baby tangs, if by baby you mean really small. Anything will nip at them and it'll look like their fins are being eaten.

Yes its just under an inch, its doing fine rite now, or seems like it, eating when food floats by, swiming thru my tree coral and near the back glass to the other side. Wont go out into open water. It just looks beat up, shud I give it a chance and see if it does good. For the 3 years I have owned a reef Ive never realy had fish that got beet up befor, except a domino damsil out of all the fish.

Got any info on this? I used to bring in 10-15 at a time and have maybe 3-4 die at the most.

In a tank with other fish, though? I'd say if it's eating it'd be more stress to move it.

Sorry for the false alarm but ive decided to keep it because it is swiming around very activly and eating a lot. also the wounds are healing very nicely and very fast.
