    Sooo happy to report that after months of searching I got a 3" juvie Australian Harlequin Tusk. This is one of my fav SW fish. Got a great deal from the guys at my LFS who have been on the lookout for me.

    Initially it was bullied by my yellowtail Damsel so I caught that bugger and brought it back to the LFS. Tusk is happy and out and about now, even my Powder Blue tolerates it.

    (NOTE: I completely understand that a Powder Blue & Tusk will outgrow my tank and will deal with that as they get larger.)

    Here's some pics:
