Chelmon with Pygoplites?

[yano]

I´m planning add 1 Chelmon rostratus (2-2,5inch long) with 1 Pygoplites diacanthus (2 inch long) in my 100 gal reef. The fishes will be introduced to the same time in the tank...do you think I will be problems between this fishes for his similar colors?
I´ve 1 P. Hepatus and 1 Z. flavescens (4 inch long), but this fishes will be in other tank for 1 month aprox.
Thanks

The P. hepatus will become problematical in that sized tank (RC recommends a 240 gallon tank). I do not think C. rostratus or P. diacanthus will perceive they are in the same ecological niche; however both are problematical feeders. If you are feeding live blackworms among your foods, you may be successful but it is still unpredictable.

Copperbands are not shrimp eaters.
