Experiences with queensland dottybacks?

[MuraenidaeFan200]

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.

They are one of the largest dottyback species. They will be fine in a larger tank with large tankmates like tangs or angels. Make sure you introduce it last.
Not sure if you've seen them in person before, but the males are among the best looking fish, in my opinion. They've got nice long flowy fins.
