    Good luck to you Alex. Perhaps consider a Dotty Back for a future resolution should the Peppermint turn evil. :p

    I have a super passive Orchid dotty. They re probably my all time favorite fish. I should have this one for another 10 years or so. All in all i have great fish, no issues other than the Helfichi that wont come out...

    My cbb never nipped at corals, clams, lps, etc. but it devoured aptasia. Get them as young as possible.

    Also, I keep 4+ pepps in my sump and just switch out rocks between DT and sump when aptasia get out of hand.

    good luck, I know they are hard to catch if they go rogue lol ;)
