Manny Tavan Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 I hear they are almost impossible to keep alive in captivity. I was surprised to see one. Pictures don’t Do it justice. I know wwc has one and their video of it is beautiful. In real life it was ten times prettier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kshack Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I kept one in my office waiting room tank for several years. Tank was fishl only, so no experience with corals. Ken 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The ReefBox Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I’ve kept one in previous tanks (FOWLER) For a long period of time too. Very cool fish and by no means IMO is it a expert fish, kinda like if you look up radiant wrasse it shows expert level as well. I would be interested to see what criteria is used to classify something EXPERT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
