What are your personal experiences with them?

What does yours eat?

What size tank do you keep them in?

Any tankmates?

Gsp, blue damsel, various hermits, serpent star

If you want one and you're anywhere near me, I'm trying to sell her for $20

Cool. I was thinking about having a 28 gallon with a valentini.


Does your interact with the other inhabitants and like them? I'm wondering if I could get an ocellaris and firefish too.

She gets along with them. I don't think she favors anyone, but the gsp had a bout of puppy love for her lol

Lol, sounds cute. :D


I was thinking about having a Valentini puffer with an ocellaris clown and another small fish. Does that sound okay?


Do you consider them particularly destructive with corals?

She kept eating my feather worms and barnacles so that's why I moved her... It's just a wait and see kinda thing

It will take me a few weeks to get my stuff set up, if she is still available- would you consider shipping her?


She has a great personality and pleasant disposition. I also want a female. ^.^

Liveaquaria compatibility chart says puffs and clowns are compatible. Hit or miss on reef safe. They work out for some people, and others not so well.
