    Thats what it wants you to think ;D;D;D. It really is pretty nasty stuff. If your tank is big enough I would get an Algae Blenny.

    looks like regular Anthelias to me. What type of lighting do you have?

    Ahh.. well it's pretty okay.

    I see it every now and then nipping at the skunk shrimp.. but other than that it's pretty placid! Does it's own thing.

    If they're not expensive I suppose i can trial'n'error :-/

    Dottybacks are horrible fish even if they are pretty. I had a strawberry one and it ate my peppermint shrimp. The final straw was when it obliterated my eye spot goby with 4 hours of it going into the tank. He had to go after that.
