Watch your Domino damsel very closely while he doesn't know you are watching. They don't like newcomers. Watch your other fish as well. Watch for any bite marks on the tang. Be careful. Your tang has a blade and will use it on your other fish if he feels threatened. If he is eating normally and has nothing on him then it may just be a case of an open water swimmer checking out his new surroundings. Tell us if you see anything at all out of the ordinary.

other than darting back and forth for awhile and gills "flapping" quickly, theres nothing at all out the ordinary. eating habits remained the same. still grazes on algae sheets and eats regularly but my domino, yea know about him. nothing to show on bodies as attack marks but will keep closer watch.
