As of yesterday my male bangia seems to have a mouthful of eggs ,while I doubt any fry to make it from this batch,I do have a queston for the next time around.
I have them in the 75 reef tank along with tomato clowns and several LPS corals,should I move the bangia into a 29 set up with just a few mushrooms,gsp and zoas or leave them in the 75 and move the clowns,my 2 concerns with leaving them in the 75 are LPS eating fry and not being able to reduce water flow ,which neither is a prob in the 29.
Any suggestions or ideas I would be greatly thankful for.

It's an a amazing sight isn't it:) Knowing from experience how hard it is trying to catch a Bangaii, you could try moving him to another chance if you want to try and raise the fry, or leave things to nature.

I tried moving mine when he had a mouthful, got him in the net and he spat out all the eggs. I put the eggs into hatchery in the sump just to see what happened and they all disappeared. A couple of weeks later I found "Titch"!!! I managed to raise him and he is now over a year old. Unfortunately his parents have since passed away:( Which is a shame as did buy a seperate tank for the Bangaiis but could never catch the darn things:)
