Cat Black Basslet and LED lighting?

[themadman]

Yes, I realize it's Black Cap Basslet but my 6 yr old son can't get it right and calls it Cat Black Basslet and it cracks me up! Lol. My question is how do they do with LED lighting? I've read they prefer subdued lighting? I've got 2 Radion XR15 Pro G4 over my 75 gallon so it's not crazy crazy lighting. But I have SPS so I definitely don't run them subdued. I don't want any fish unhappy with their environment in my tank so I thought it was a good question to ask. Anyone have these and see issues with lighting? Thanks!

The fish will acclimate nicely. As long as you have ample caves/overhangs for him to get out if the sun if need be, then your lighting shouldn't be an issue at all

Awesome, thank you! We are still searching for a fish that will be "my son's fish" and this is the next on the list to research. This might be the one! Thanks again!

The name is cute. We have a mushroom named Booger for the same reason.

Aww, yeah I think it's adorable! Booger is cute too! My son named the Crocea clam Storm after Jackson Storm. Lol.

They may be more shy at first. I have black cap basslets in tanks I take care of with sps. Once used to the lighting they are out and about, even under 400w halides.

More than one in the same tank?

I take care of a few tanks, so there are single specimens in a few of those tanks.

There is a pr in one tank, but it is a 10' tank. However, they are usually near each other.

Grammas are colonial fish by nature and can work out in aquaria, provided the specimens are young, added simultaneously, and can each have their own territory.

So maybe 2 small in my 240 added at the same time?

Yes, that will work.
