They're usually pretty hardy. A few things things that keeps them off the list...

1.) They seem to be more commonly caught using drugs. Purchasing one that comes from Hawaii will greatly eliminate the chances of getting a improperly collected specimen.

2.) They're a little more sensitive to water conditions than the Coral Beauty.

3.) They tend to be a little more demanding diet wise IMO.

4.) They're usually a little meaner than the Coral Beauty.

5.) They're fairly expensive, and I was trying to not include many pricey fish here.
