well some good news: despite the fact that the YT and PT are jerks to the CBB, I saw the CBB eating some mysis in his little area of the tank. I'm hopeful that it'll be able to pull through and do well (and hopefully eat some aiptasia, too)
Some bad/sad news: caught the YT and will be giving it to a friend; next up is the PT which I plan on trading for a yellow belly Blue tang. My daughter told me the other day that she wants to go look at "fishies at the fish store cause we don't have a Dory". Guess who felt bad? Me.
I got pretty attached to both of them, so it is kinda sad to let them both go.

you selfish prick. how can you not have a dory in your tank. rule number 1, always have a nemo and dory in your tank when you have kids. rule number 2, when you complete rule number 1 then you have excuse to get whatever color in the rainbow for your tank cause it teaches your kids the different color of the rainbow.
CBB update:
It's been a few days, and it's still eating frozen mysis; furthermore, I've also noticed it picking at the rocks.
In better news, I also noticed it swimming about more freely, with the PT pretty much ignoring the CBB.
In not so good news, the PT won't go near the trap; it's as if it knows I'm trying to catch it. I tried not feeding for 24-36hrs, then placing frozen food within the trap. No luck-the wrasses would venture in, start picking at the food, with the food ultimately drifting out of the trap. That is when the tang comes out and gets it share. Otherwise, it just stays underneath the shelves, or swims back and forth along the back.

Problem is he likes to hang out, and sleep under these overhangs.
But....you're more than welcome to come by and catch him yourself
