Chaetodon collare

Does anyone know of a good read up on this fish? I really would like to try it in an sps dominated tank in the future, but with my OSFF and this fish pecking at my corals, I don't know if it will be too much stress on them (corals). Thanks for any help.

It's what they eat in the wild - corals are their main food source. Maybe try to entice it w/ frozen mysis. I couldn't get mine to eat anything other than live clams which was cool to watch at first but soon became a pain.

They are great looking fish ... good luck!

Yeah, I just wanted to know if they'd completely wipe it out or just nip at it. Hopefully they'd take to frozen and not nip a lot on the corals. I'd still like to find some more info on them. It's not a for sure thing, but I really find this fish beautiful.

Bump. I guess no ones been brave enough to try one in a reef before? My LFS has one and I'm tempted to try it out.
