LOL .. hermit crabs do this. They'll fight each other for their shells. I've give up on keeping track of mine, when the tank seems low, I just restock.

I will bet that your tank did cycle. i have cycled tanks in three or four days using live rock and sand along with water and old filters from my fish guy. and i always use molloy's as a starter fish. they are alot more easy going than damels, and i have always just left them,as they bother nothing. plus i had a pair that breed all the time and the other fish loved the live food...lol.
but i have three tanks up and running now, two reef and of course eeli the morays tank. alot of fun, so enjoy!

yea when i went into the LFS to get my water tested for calcium and such and pick up some corals. The guy basically yelled at me saying there's no way.
Well everything is thriving, the clowns are active, the corals open up wide, going to be adding more fish soon, maybe two purple firefish.
