New Fish Added to my 210g Reef

billyr98 · 03-07-2006, 03:53 PM

I just added a new Harlequin Tusk to my reef tank. I talked to witfull on saturday about his and it convinced me to finally make the purchase. I just wanted some inputs on this fish. Like their tendiences? and what do you feed yours?

Here is a little more in-depth information....seems that they may not be recommended for a Reef tank, looks like its more of a Fish Only tank, type of fish.

Yeah they are considered not reef safe because they eat inverts and shrimp.. No Big DEAL!
