When I first started out in the 90's we used to call them Die-colors as thats what they all did...over time better collection practices it is now much easier to find a healthy one. My current one is 6 years old about 6 inches and rules the roost. He has never picked on any coral and will eat anything you put in the tank. Flakes pellets frozen eats it all! Great fish:)

This is an interesting read. When I started this hobby about a year ago this was the fish that I most wanted. After researching I decided against one (even passed on a beautful one that had been traded to my LFS after 2 years in another customers tank) due to the risk of eating corals. Reading this had made me doubt my decision.
