My Harlequin Tusk is on its way for delivery tommorow i am so excited.:wink:
 
I won't one, but those nasty fangs they have has keep me from getting one. It hurts when my by color blenny bites me I couldn't imagine a harlequin sinking its fangs in me. But if I ever do it well be the Aussie so pretty my second favorite fish right after the morish idiol. Good luck with yours.
 
I have owned a few and worked at a lfs. They are really nice I would always hold mine or play with them in the store, they will jump on your hand. Mine at the house would come and dance in a way when it wanted food. Great for reefs will eat any bad starfish.
 
I have owned one for about a year and they are great fish. Never bothered me or any of my fish. He ended up jumping out a year ago and I havent managed to order a new one in yet.
 
My Maroon gold banded clown will not leave him alone. I hope he settles down i am worried.
 
They are classified as not reef safe but that is due to the poss. Of them eating snails and shrimp. I have never seen any touch coral. He really didnt seem to bother my snails or crabs but I didnt have a shrimp at the time so I cant speak for that
 
One of my favorite fish! They look amazing and mine has been very well behaved in the almost 2 years that I have had him. Good luck!
