Hey all :wavehand: Been around for a while, mostly reading and gleaning information, but I'm finally in need of some help!

I'm been trying to find any information on the Microcanthus strigatus, or Australian Stripey. I know it's a Chub, and gets around 6 inches. There is little info aside from that (Google, fishbase, etc). 3 came into my work (Eating like pigs, and around 2 inches) and I would love to add them to my 75 (Currently I have a Yasha Hasse/Tiger Pistol and a pair of Ocellaris Clowns) I don't know if it would be rational to add them, but they are very tempting! Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you :)

Edit: Just found them on Liveaquaria -they weren't there the other day :) I think I shall pass, it looks like they aren't entirely reef safe and would appreciate the 6 ft swimming room of a larger tank :) DD LiveAquaria Link
