Nice fish. I've had two of them. If you can get one already eating, you're ahead of the game. One of the problems seems to be getting a specimen that will eat well. Many accounts don't rate them as a long lived fish in captivity. Maybe a couple years if you're lucky. Good luck with it.

I had one that was beautiful, fat and sassy, but I lost him in a heat wave when I was out of town. Really sad.
They're supposed to be fairly reef safe. Mine left softies and clams alone, but would eat any fleshy LPS he could get to. Like, down to skeleton.
As Jerry said, the trick is getting one that's eating. They sometimes never adapt.
HTH.

I have had mine for over a year now. It took 2 months for it to start eating prepared foods, but luckily I had enough on the rock to sustain it. The first food it took was nori sheets (I had been putting them in every couple of days since I got it), followed by frozen, then pellet. Since it has been eating prepared foods, the coloration has gotten better, and it is a pig, eating anything I put in the tank... A great fish, and hasnt touched any of my corals. I have a few SPS frags, a frogspawn and some softies. I have heard clams and LPS can be problematic, but noticed nothing with my lone LPS.
