This fish has a great personality and his colors come in when he is perched. Some fish aren’t as active when I’m hovering over my tank, but this one is the opposite because he learned some of the more bold fish would be hiding while I was watching the tank so that is when he would come out and swim as close to me as he could. This fish picks at rocks all day and would taste test different corals so it started to acquire a taste for an acro frag then wouldn’t leave it alone so sadly I had to move him.
