I had one, years ago, lost it too a power outage.
At the time the tank had mushrooms and a couple of BTAs, it didn't touch any of them.
Beautiful fish, once I get a "big" tank, I will get another.

thanks todd, was it aggressive?

Can't comment on coral compatability. However, it was my favorite fish. It was a beast as far as being aggressive. I had it in a 120 and it ruled over a puffer and yellow tang, although it never inflicted any physical damage (mostly tail swatting). After is settled in and reached around 7", it got to the point where it would swat me with its tail everytime I put my hand in the tank.

I'd get another if I ever set up the FO again - great fish but very territorial.

Hey;

I have a Passer, female. She has been in my reef forever. My tank is SPS dominated but I also have a lot of LPS and a few clams.

The tang is 125 gallons and she gets along with everyone but likes to be the boss.

With corals she leaves all the SPS alone, clams alone and when it comes to LPS I would stay away from Elegance and Brain she likes to nip at those so they stay closed and die.

Havenb't had anyother problems species of LPS.

Hope it helps

Kev

pasenah -- IIRC it wasn't too aggresive at all. At the time I had a yellow tang and a pair of clarkii clowns.
