    He has been in the tank for a bit over a week now and has taken a liking to perching on the magnet or on the new leather coral. A nice addition to our tank.

    A very personable fish that is now taking food out of my hand!

    Pics as soon as my phone re-charges :p

    Ours seems to be. He often just perches on the leather, never seen him pick at anything but rocks and my fingers :S.

    Apparently they may pick of some inverts although i'm not sure on how correct this is, our pair of CBS got crushed in a rock slide as i haven't seen them in just over two months.

    Pictures as Promised !
    The bag in the corner is the clown tang being acclimatised...

    One thing i noticed is that they are very easy fish to take photos of... Similar to clowns in anemones when scuba diving... They just look at you saying 'take a photo' :p
