It's been in my tank for over a year, went from 3" to 5.5" now. Enjoy!

Great pics of a cool fish. Does this guy bother your corals?

So far no, only once I saw it go after a toad because my lovely foxface (in the sump for now) started chewing it and the cow followed thinking it was food, other than that it's been a good citizen. I have a bunch of softies, a few sps's LPS and 4 clams

Cool fish. Always liked this fish but would be too worried about it in my tank. Glad it's doing well.

It needs a lot of place to swim 100 G+ I bet mine will outgrow my tank in a few years. It's fun to watch it, lot's of personaly, blows the sand looking for small things to eat and sometimes blows water out asking for food. Eat's a jumbo shrimp a day, frozen food and sheets of nori, it will not eat flakes, pellets or anything small, loves frozen clams from the grocery store.

I love this fish and would like to have him in my mixed reef, but I was always too woried about the potential poison killing everything else in my tank.
