If it is the source all his fish should die. He has fish in the tank alive and well. It seems new additions are not living. Thats why I'am thinking aggression or lack of oxygen. There maybe enough for his current few fish but not enough for new ones.It's a 200 gal tank so it could take a bit...

Yea, it was a hitchhiker on lr. It eats alage so idk if chalice is planty enough or what lol. Doesn't bother any critters. Corals do limit you tho, inverts and fish wise
