motor,
other than trying a different supplier {which it sounds like you did} if everything is right on then i would say maybe look at your acclimation practices and if anything over acclimate when adding them.................if you shock em into their new home they could very well live a week or more before dieing......................
howed the new fish work out????

ask your lfs to hold a fish......let it sit in his tank for a week.....put a down payment on the fish.......then go from there. Be sure to observe how it is swimming and how alert and active it is.

anthias are hard as hell to keep. we talked about that at the reef club meeting yesterday. That could be part of it. The same with the regal tang........Those are all hard fish to keep...so maybe thats why. Have you had your house sprayed for bugs lately?
