So I've got my powerheads on the lowest setting and this dude is just getting whipped all around the tank so I think he might just be a bit too small for my reef. He's 2" eats pellets. $50 or open to trades.

Located in Aliso viejo.

I'm not sure why these fish are sold in stores? They should be a special order fish (along with so many others). These fish get massive as adults. As juveniles they live in low flow areas of the reef, so putting one in a full blown reef with lots of flow isn't going to end well for the fish.

My parents raised 2 Tiera bats and an Oct they got about 2 feet. Use to eat popcorn shrimp from my moms hand. They use to bit my dad's finger didn't like him.
