I have had this fish since it was very tiny and it lives in my reef still. I will have to move him when he becomes large enough to threaten my coruscations.

I bought him from my LFS.

I chose him because he was very active and in perfect condition.

Normal acclimation.

He lives with a pair of perculas, a coral hawk, a marine Betta. numerous inverts.

He is very curious but has show absolutely no aggression. however he would, no doubt, eat anything he could fit in his mouth.

He will eat most anything. He does not particularly like vegetable matter but he may eat it anyway.

I have rarely ever fed him live food.

He grows fast.

I have never encountered disease in this fish.

I have noticed this fish change color, becoming darker from time to time.

This fish is not shy he will let me touch him and often gets in the way when I
am trying to look closely at my tank.

I have never seen my blood shrimp clean him.

I am not certain I have ever seen him sleep. He will occasional wedge himself
between rocks with his pectorals.

All in all I do not find this to be aggressive I think hungry would be a better
word. Certainly dangerous to small animals. I have found them to be very hardy
although I do not believe in putting any fish through a tank cycle. If a
beginner was well informed and had a large tank and budget I would perhaps recomend
it. They would have to be prepared for the commitment.
