    LOL - I am sort of falling for this little fellow now - so maybe not.

    I don't know how much the actual price is in Australia - but I got mine pretty cheap. Most people tend to look for Clown fishes or Tang, while this type of fish was often overlooked. I don't know if I could find a second one.

    Just some pic from net, hope mine will look as pretty:

    Only in Australia.....I love the personality of these guys. Do you have any semi big colonies of SPS? they love to hide among the branches.

    I just did :-[

    Wait... it didn't hurt?

    Anyway, any coral suggestion? Will he be happy with tree or finger leather coral? I am planning for all soft.

    Yeah from what I've read they perch on any coral.

    I believe the dorsal fin spines deliver the venom. And +1 to ingtar, should be fine on most corals, i would just be wary around LPS.

    I wasn't sure about softies but they should be fine. I just knew for sure that they perch on SPS's.
