Hello,

I am considering adding an Orchid Dottyback to my 90gl reeftank. I was wondering if he/she will be peaceful or do I need to be concerned?

Any Feedback would be appreciated.

I've always had them in my mixed reefs with no issues

Have 2, they paired up, they dig beneath my rocks. But they don't bother anyone. Orchids don't live up to the aggressive behaviors in other dottybacks. IME

75 gallon tank btw
