New fish arrived

My lemonpeel angel just arrived along with the serpent star...both are alive and well. The cold pac was still cool to the touch and the bagged water was not too warm. And in this heat, at noon......I was worried. I was right at the door when Fed X delivered the box.
They are acclimating right now and I moved one of the finger leathers from the seahorse tank to the 90g, in the hope of saving the coral, it is smaller and more drawn up today and looking worse than when the lights first came on...after three days it should show at least a little improvement.

LOL...I have never been able to get a good picture of a fish...they move and hide as soon as I get near the tank. One lemonpeel looks just like another. I always kind of laughed at "show me your clown fish" threads. I understand the unusual ones, but mostly it's just the same old little "nemo" fish.
He did eat a bit this morning and seems to be healthy enough. I made sure he ate then gave him space. He is very yellow. My last lemonpeel had an orange tint, but was also twice his size. So I hope he gets that deeper color as he matures. I love the electric blue around the eyes and gills. Dwarf angels are such pretty fish.
Coral pictures I can understand because size and color varies...but a fish is a fish, unless it's sick, and then get a picture so you can find out what the trouble is.
I moved one leather to the 90g, one arm has already come lose. It will make a nice frag, that's what I did with the last arm. All the "limbs" are attached to a center rock so each limb is a different section. I wish it would do a good shed, so far they are shrinking. The last leather that did that died. They curl up into a hard ball and never come back out.
I figured if I had only one in each tank they wouldn't fight. The Kenya is bouncing back, and I see lots of fallen limbs all puffed and trying to become new trees. The green neon kenya is still pretty angry looking. The mushrooms look good. The GSP is peeking out more and more each day. The green polyps on the wall are out in full bloom but they look dull in color...darker not bleached.
I'm planning a water change tomorrow, I'm going to be doing some macro plucking as well. The back wall is pretty full.
The horses are happy as can be. Erectus must be really hardy because these guys are like super bouncers. I can no longer tell the emacipated one from the others, so all are back to health. I love those little fins on the side of their faces that wiggle so fast as they stare each other down. Makes me laugh every time I see them do it.

I will try......It isn't much of an enviroment right now.
How are your horses doing?..I haven't read an update lately. You know, I think my horses made it because I had amphipods, the one male that looked so skinny was the one that hangs out in front. The others hang out on the back wall where the tiny food lives. In the dark those little critters come out and I bet my other three horses were eating all along. here I am going nuts trying to feed them 2Xs a day.

Meowzer...LOL...the clown fish have moved from the back of the rocks, they must have sensed my threat of getting them another home. I guess they can stay after all..

The pretty baby blue around the eyes and gills are about the same on all of them. I do believe my last lemonpeel was more of an orange juice color, this one is canary yellow. The one I lost was older so maybe that's why the deeper color. I loved the color of that fish.
I watch my fish from across the room as a rule so when I get up close to the tank for pictures the fish hide.
