Breaks my heart to list this fish, but it is the largest in my overstocked 100 gal aquarium. I have owned it for a year and a half. It is approximately 6.5 inches long and would probably do best in a 200 gal aquarium or larger.

Very friendly fish. Will come up and greet whomever approaches the tank.

Reef safe with caution - This fish is an aggressive cleaner; it won't eat coral, but may accidentally scrape or disturb them trying to get at algae. It may knock frags over doing this from time to time. Like other fish, it will try to snatch food from anemones. If you have large, fleshy coral like acanthophyllias, cynarinas, or wellsophyllias, it will try to steal the food from their mouths also (the large mucus-ball of reef roids or mysid shrimp). Aside from this behavior, I have never seen it nipping at coral, whether soft, SPS, or LPS. Will attempt to eat any live shrimp. Crabs, snails, starfish + other invert safe. Will tear up or eat any macroalgae in the tank. Gets along with other fish.

Again, very friendly fish and very colorful. Turns camouflage at night (or when scared) with alarming black stripes, so don't freak out; it's not a disease :) (see attached picture) . Really bummed to be listing this fish.

PM me if you are interested, serious inquiries only please. Cash (or Venmo) accepted as payment upon meetup + transfer.
