    I had screen tops, but I had a small gap where the cord for the jeboa was running through. The wrasse found it.

    I think I'm going to get some acrylic to cover the back couple inches and drill/cut it just big enough for the cords, then modify my screen tops to compensate for it.

    Ya. It's amazing how they always find that small hole. I did the acrylic piece on my 40b. I will take pics when I get home.

    Just black sheet plastic I glued to top of my screen cover on my 40b. It covers small hole in back where power head cords come out of tank.

    I love my leopards! I have a pair of blue stars and a potters. They are an absolute joy to watch and possibly the prettiest fish I have ever owned!

    Would you mind posting a pic of your lepords. I can't wait to get them.

    They are not the best pics... I'm not the best photographer and they aren't the easiest fish to photograph with a phone! ;)

    Also lost the tiny Leopard in the second pic a couple days after... not sure why.

    Partial coral transfer done over the last week. Still have to transfer chalices and the rest of the favias. And my black tang and diamond tail fairy wrasse need to be caught and transfered. WAiting on lepord wrasse and a yasha goby and pistol shrimp. And I will take crabs and snails out of other tanks as needed. That should fill It up as far as fish and inverts.

    Coral transfer complete. Now I need to start mounting them all. I will be tearing down my 40b setup next week so look for a for sale thread on that and I have several frags to sell probably next week.

    Got my leopard wrasse in my tank after the meeting at Coral Haven on sunday.
    I was surprised when they both swam around the tank for a while before diving in the sand.
    Then a few minutes later they came back out and swam around until lights out.
    The female ate about 2 hours after being put in the tank. The male didn't eat until last night. But they come out of the sand around mid afternoon. And swim around until dark.
    Hopefully I can get some pics tonight.
    I am waiting on a yasha goby and pistol shrimp pair. And that should do it for fish.

    I also mounted all the corals yesterday with glue and epoxy so snails don't bulldoze them into each other. Pics later
