When i first got it, it had some spots of ick and what looked like a secondary fungal infection starting to set in (white film). The first week or so it did not look promising, all it did was peck at the rock...but it was never shy or timid. From the moment i dropped it into the tank it was out front swimming around (never hiding in the rock). Around the 8 days mark it started taking NLS thera A 1.0 mm pellet, and around day 15 all signs of ick were gone.
I wait before posting pics of fish i get because i never know how they will do the first couple of weeks, but this one has made it...its going into the reef tank :)
He acclimated well, and the other fish are ok with it in there. None of them were aggressive, nor was it towards the other fish. Its still only eating NLS pellet, but it eats it like a pig...which for the time being will work since everything else in the tank loves it as well.
EDIT: Thought i would add that the QT had no treatments in it. I had some rid ick on stand by in case it got bad, but from day one the infection only got better. Tank temp was around 83-84, s.g was @ 1.025. No sand, just some PVC and LR.
This is day 1 in the main tank, looking good!

Im glad the clowns have not taken to it yet, since it so small. The last one i had they beat up to the point it was stressed constantly...
