This little fish likes to perch on to corals. They can be harmful to sps coral, as it could pick on the sps consuming some polyps. They can also perch on leather corals. Would not recommend in a sps dominant tank, unless you want to take the risk of this fish picking on the sps. It has a big personality for a small fish and is not afraid of other bigger fish. This fish is peaceful with many other fish, but would not recommend with the same species unless they are partners.
