Tried two times and both times disappeared and assuming gotten eaten by my bubble tip anemone. Not very smart. Too expensive to be used as food for my BTA. Love the guy otherwise so fun to watch and yellow really pops.

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.

Always out and about. Loves to perch on corals. Not reef safe with sps. Very very small ...
