that’s interesting, I never knew that but also never really found what the attraction to these fish was. Certainly agree that colouration is dependent on three main things:When colored up nicely they are a gorgeous fish and will make a fine centerpiece. Their color is affected by stress and they do not take to crowds, but you are far from overstocked. Adding live macro algae into their diet is also a good addition for coloration.
I nicknamed the reef lobster the "silent assassin" after determining in more than one tank, that is how fish and inverts were disappearing. They are nocturnal and opportunistic. They usually catch the small fish while they are sleeping and the H. Chrysus does bury himself, so that does present an opportunity. The lobster has a hard exoskeleton and would be impervious to a sting from the waspfish, I don't know if the poison from the wasp would kill the lobster if he ate him, but that just means you lose both.
