    Well, since my "trouble" thread/situation, my leopard has had a change in its daily routine. It's normally out and about before the lights come on in the morning. Now, it waits a few hours.

    Yup, mine joins in with the rest of the crew when I put some seaweed on the clip in there. It took a few weeks to get her from frozen food to freeze dried mysis. Then a month or two after that she began to eat flakes and even the seaweed on the clip.

    I'll go ahead and add coralline algae to it's diet. I just recently scraped as much of the sides of my tank as I could reach with the scraper. I probably annihilated myself by doing this and spreading massive spores throughout the tank. I've got plenty of the stuff already. Anyways, my leopard loves the stuff. It's definitely eating the "chips".

    Awesome looking fish. I'm trying to decide between the leopard and a red corris wrasse.

    The coris wrasse is going to get bigger and will be boisterous. Not recommended for reef aquariums.
