No offense, but if you need to ask a question like this, maybe it would be best to stick to the hardier fish out there until you feel more comfortable with the hobby.

You do realize chevrons are one of the hardiest tangs you can purchase right? Expensive doesn't always mean hard to keep..

I don't want to sound like I'm attacking you, that is not my intent. It's just that responses like this are a huge pet peeve of mine. A hobbyist asks for information on a fish on the more rare end of the spectrum. Then all I see is replies like the above, "If you need to ask you aren't ready to care for one."

Considering this is the mecca of reef information for the most part, where do these people expect hobbyists that are ready to jump to the harder to keep fish get their information?

While I agree with you, I think it was the OP's poor word choice that elicited this response. "Do they last or will it die?" Well, even the hardiest fish can die if not cared for properly.

I'll give you that. I paid more attention to the response than to the OP, my mistake.

Just to mention. From my experience chevrons are pretty much bullet proof in regards to health. Most of the deaths in the species I have seen have come from owner error (disease coming in from non-qt'd tank mates etc.), or something beyond the owners control (Power outtage).
