He should be fine, and they will be upset for a little bit but they will get over it fast enough :)

So I went to the lfs in nashville the other day with my friend that just moved here and she decided to pull the trigger on starting a 10gal. She saw some zoas and a teeny clown she wanted so I am housing them in my tank until hers finishes cycling. I also got a few new things of my own.
Scooter blenny that eats frozen!
Couple of favias
doughnut coral

Congratulations on your new pick-ups and getting your friend into the addiction!
But I'm gonna have to say that I think your LFS is taking you for a bit of a ride. That scooter blenny looks quite skinny to me, which he shouldn't if he really eats frozen - I'd really work hard to fatten him up and hopefully he'll come around for you! And the first favia you posted looks pretty bleached out, and the second one (which I think is actually an acan) also looks a liltte bleached, though not as bad as the first (but I think both will color up under your care). If he's selling them to you and telling you they should be light/white in color like that, then I think he's full of :pooh:

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset for offend you. :( If you watched him eat then you should be able to fatten him up in no time!

+1 to fattening up the scooter blenny, i would be feeding him at least twice a day until he gets some major weight gain.

He ate a little mysis this morning and picks the cyclop-eez off the rocks. I'm going to get him some pods tomorrow so he will have more to pick at.

Yeah I miss seeing his little fishy head dart in and out of his little cave during feeding time. He managed to jump out of the tank, flip around and off the counter and flop all the way almost to my dish washer which is FEET away from the tank. I'm surprised my food whore dogs did not munch him up. Now I just have to worry about fattening up my scooter(which is still nameless, Help?). She rid the tank of the flatworms and the pods that I already had in the tank. She gets really active when I feed the tank and chows down on cyclop-eez. How long should it take for her to fill out?

Oh and my clown has become a little snot and tries to bite the mess out of me when I try to feed my sun corals. I think he's jealous. He too is a food whore lol.
