harlequin tusk

[whap]

just wondering if or who has one in a reef tank and how they behave and can you have a cleaner shrimp in there with them thanks mike

I do know they will kill off snails and hermits not sure about shrimps.

I've had two in my past. niehter one bothered with shrimp, but they had a feast on snails and hermits.

Harlequin Tusks are not good fishes for reef tanks. They like to eat and they aren't picky about what it is.

I have an HT in my reef with no problems. It leaves everything alone except that Elbil's Angel I had for about a day.

They are reef safe with caution. There was an artical in annual marine fish mag I belive about misunderstood fish and the HT was one of them

i've seen an HT eat many new tankmates from small fishes to crabs, snails and shirmp. It got to them even before 6" clown trigger that was in the same tank! Not to say that they will all be that aggressive.
