Please log in for more thread options Has anyone had any experience with these fish?
The LFS have rated it as a moderate risk to corals but I don't want it
destroying my reef.
Briefly, I have 100 gallon tank and the corals I don't want destroyed are a
Pagoda coral (Turbinaria), Goniopora, various Zooanthus polyps, Clavularia
and Xenia.

One should do fine in a tank like yours. That is the only place they should be
IMHO. I
kept them for like 25 years

The problem I had is it would not eat the foods offered, once it ate all the
pests in the tank it faded.

Please log in for more thread options You need to train it first on brine shrimp, glass worms and blood worms first is
usually
the best. Once trained--> reef tank, you then need to continue feeding them this
( or did
you try this). The other issue is where they came from. Red Sea CBB are buy far
the best
to keep. Allot of times it is hit an miss on CBB, as they often, as you said,
do note
work out and starve to death. Big ones are usually bad and are set in their
ways. I had I
think 5 of them, 8 yrs, 5yrs. 5yrs, 3 yrs, and one 2 months
