Sabre squirrelfish @Lbrdsoxfan

Very nice. Never had one but always wanted to do a squirrel fish and a hogfish.

 

[monkeyCmonkeyDo]

I've never done a hogfish. I think they need a sandbed or substrate and that's probably why. They like to sift and eat the crustaceans in the sand.
Squirrelfish I've probably had at least 6-8 over the last 10 yrs and can say they are very docile and nocturnal. They adapt well to reef lighting as well.
Great hardy fish but loves the krill and larger junks of seafood which can be spendy. My toadfish has eaten a damsel and a tiny 1/4" six line wrasse. I don't recommend the toadfish for a community tank.

I once had a shadowfin squirrelfish and it was my favorite fish of all time.
This sabre I call sharkfish.
Awsome fish and a big boy. Lol.
