springer's dottyback

[ryansweet]

I was wondering if anyone has one of these guys and what you experience has been. I am looking into getting one and have read that they are very hardy, reef safe, and eat bristle worms, all of which I am looking for in a fish. Plus, they aren't that hard on the eyes in my opinion either.

I've had a Springer for over a year.

It's a good tank mate and doesn't bother a thing. It spends most of it's time peeking out from the rock work. I wouldn't say it's shy, but it would rather been "around the corner" than out in plain sight.
