Baby Harlequin tusk information

[knukles55]

Hello everyone im trying to find out information about Harlequin tusk anywere from 1 1/2in to 2 in". Are they hardy fish this small? Is the diet still the same small shrimp, pellets, hermits, snails, clams? and does anyone know if they have been succesful in a SPS / LPS tank.

I think I saw one at one of the stores off of bird. I always forget the name of the store. Its the blue building. About 2" max.

I know they are pretty aggressive and I don't think they are reef safe. Maybe someone else could chime in if im wrong.

The small ones don't tend to do very well. IMO it's mostly a supply chain issue. As for the species in general, safe for your corals, just not safe for shrimps, crabs and snails.

My tusk committed suicide the other day. He was a jumper :-( he was 9" long too. I think my shark chased him out!

That's funny I was looking to buy one too. Ocean view on bird has one too but I guess they just got him bc he wasn't eating. Hopefully he's still there and eating on Saturday since they're having their anniversary sale this weekend...
