    its is a smaller fish only getting about 3 inches total. they are def. reef safe and not very aggressive. you will prob always have territory problems when just adding new things. it should calm down quickly though as these are not aggressive fish. good luck

    they do pretty well together, kind of a skiddish fish to begin with though, so hopefully there isnt an issue with other fish bullying them

    Just thought I would post some pics of mine. They dont stay still very long so getting a good shot is very hard. Fantastic fish though. Looks great under actinics. The pics dont really do justice. Really do need a better camera. I have 3 of them in my 300L tank.​
