Unfortunately, I can't help you too much there lol

haven't had one myself but I heard there a very delicate fish and hard to keep
but I think all sw fish are delicate and if acclimated correctly they can live a long time

 

[Darylb]

well i acclimated it for 2 hours and params were all good he has been swimming around good all day and was fine this morning hopefully it survives

What size is your tank?

 

[Darylb]

55 gal only a clown a damsel in there with it

 

[54seaweed]

they get about 6 inches

 

[54seaweed]

they say 75 or larger but if not over crowded 55g should do for a while

 

[Darylb]

what are peoples experiances with these fish and corals

 

[furrymurray]

I had a bi color once. He loved to eat the top layer off my toadstool leather. I put algae sheets in the tank. He would eat that and then turn around and eat my toadstool. Finally rehomed him and toadstool recovered. And the toadstool was the only coral he really messed with.

 

[Darylb]

aw really i read they like LPS and softies sps seem hard to look after

From what I've read it's a 50/50. If introduced last it might not touch them but there's never a guarantee.
