Those are beautiful fishes but as stated below, they are very hard to keep b/c of their diet needs. According to my ref. book it says;
needs at least 100g
very difficult to feed.
an occasional individual will nip at lps corals as well as certain soft coral polyps.
I dont recommend it, but since you have your mind set on it, I wish you and him good luck.
