hello. I am setting up a 65g mixed reef with a 15g sump, and later would like to add these critters. I will have all sorts of coral. They grow 4.5 inches, so i could have a pair in my tank right? Also, is care difficult? Live aquaria says expert only, but people feed them frozen food 2x a day, and they dont seem to hard...

Yes, they are not an easy fish to keep, getting them to eat anything is the problem… but also very hard to find availability.
About 8 years ago, I had a pair for about 2-3 yrs. Sorry, but I don’t remember what happened to them. I’ll look for some pics

I believe that I started them in a qt with LR and a lot of pods… once they were in 450g tank with 70 other fish, they got no special attention… eat or be eaten!
