YW.

Honestly, from what I've read, while the diphreutes is supposed to be the more reef safe, I've also read that either can be a problem in a reef tank, so, I think one should be cautious with either species.

Here's my new guy. He's about 3" - just a guess.

I am having issues with one going after a Trac brain in a 400gal customer tank. I didn't put the fish in but I am not happy its there. I will get an ID next time I make a service at the end of the week. I have a feeling I am just going to work around it. I already removed the pestered coral and it seems to leave everything else alone including different species of brains. I tried a clear cover for several weeks to establish to the fish it can't bug it but as soon as I removed the cover it was on that coral like it was getting paid for it.
