I’m curious if anyone here has had experiences with this fish as I’m interested in it but would like to avoid possible pitfalls. I plan on making a soft coral reef tank with a whitetail bristletooth, snowflake moray and arc eye hawkfish. heard australian dottybacks are vicious but different species than this one. Liverock is a must and will have one inch of samoa pink sand. around 305 litres. :]
scientific name is Ogilbyina queenslandiae to clear confusion

my lfs had a male in one time and had to move it into a solitary tank for crazy aggression but that's all I really know about them

thank you for the heads up! likely won’t purchase one if they are that aggressive, and i was unsure as there was little to no info on them online. will be looking into other fish species. I’m generally looking more into semi-aggressive fish like the others rather than that level of aggression.
