Talking The funniest thing

So I was working on my tank tonight and I decided to move my orange digitata frag. I thought the flat second level of the rock my BTA has the first level of would make a nice display platform. I finished everything else, moved the frag and went to wash my hands. When I came back the frag was knocked over. I thought that the current might have swirled and knocked it over so I carefully sat it back up making sure that it was stable. No sooner than I had removed my hand my maroon clown hit it with her nose and knocked it all the way to the sand! I put it back where it came from.

territorial behavior. i have a clown that has been trying to push this new rock away from his turf for the last month. he grasp an edge on the rock and flick his tail and beat his fins as hard as he can for minutes on end each day. the rock has not budged an inch, but he keeps on trying.

Yeah, I haven't worked on my tank thread for a while. But after dosing with melafix, a 25% water change and another 10% water change a few days later my tank is looking good and my firefish's fins are almost back to normal.
