Lieutenant Tang or the Pakistan Butterflyfish

[Jackie Blue90]

Has anyone had any experience with these fish in a reef tank?

My collare loves mushrooms.... I was hoping to at least have mushrooms in my FO. Nope....

Ugh lol

My Lt Tang was a great fish I had him for about two years 100% good tank mate & reef safe

I love my lt tank. He got beat up pretty bad by my orange shoulder when I put him in but they are cool with each other now.

Thanks everyone. He is a beautiful fish. My algae is getting pretty hard to bear and my tank is looking pretty lonely. I have a bristle worm problem too, which is why I am also looking for a butterfly. Its hard finding a reliable website that offers the most accurate details and specifications about fish.

Bare* not bear ha.

Bristle worms aren't a problem. They just eat anything left over.

 

[Jackie Blue90]

Ok, they are just making me nervous, there is so many of them!

 

[Jackie Blue90]

I did some research and figured out they are hesionids. Thank goodness.

Just an FYI, if you have algae issues and lots of bristleworms, those are signs of a nutrient problem. You are either feeding too much, or have inadequate nutrient export, or both.

I just have a volitan lionfish and he eats frozen silversides. I just replaced my carbon recently, maybe that is a factor? Let me see if I can get a picture.
