    I was at my LFS on my lunch hour and he had a couple of them. What do you guys think about this fish. Anything i should know that would keep me from buying one. It was only 20$. Heres a link click me

    I just like the way they look and there cool personality.

    Thanks in advance.

    They re cool little fish that like to perch. THey dont swim very much if at all. If you have any branchy corals or rock they usually just flitter around in them. I like them for thier small size.

    Other then them nesting in SPS, they're great. Sometimes they tare apart SPS to make a nest, unlike what is said on L.A., the SPS usually doesn't fare to well.

    I've seen the yellows nip polyps as well, I have it on film!

    I like the green a lot more. They're usually larger, stronger and healthier. I have yet to see anyu problems with them and corals. I could have a well behaved pair in my buddies tank though (had them for over 2 years now).

    I think I will have a chat with my LFS, see if they can get one! or two! They seem really cool!

    How do the yellows do in an LPS dominant tank? I have a big colony of green stars as well. Might they nip that? If so, green is cool as well! ;D
