I bought this fish from live aquaria approximately six months ago. It never comes out except to kill any fish that likes to inhabit the bottom third of the tank. It's a beautiful fish. Too bad you won't ever see it. It does however eat any food. The current tankmates in a 55 reef are a hawkfish, a pair of clowns, and a tail spot blenny, who has the good sense to stay near the top of the tank. The victims include a pair of flasher wrasses, a solon fairy wrasse and a purple firefish,RIP.
