Thought about getting one of these guys, my current stocking is a percula clownfish, blue hippo tang, flame angel and pajama cardinal in a 5 ft 125. My blue hippo is the boss and likes to push the flame angel around as well as being a little nippy, will the orchid dottyback stand his ground or are they going to get beat up?
 
I have one currently. It's the only one I've ever had. Very skittish. I've had it for about two months. Hid in the rock work for about 3 weeks and then dug itself out a nice little burrow. Hardly ever see it.

Edit: it's in a 30g with a pair of ocellaris. They get along fine as I've never seen any aggression between them and for those first 3 weeks the dottyback hung out with them in their corner.
 
My 2 are pretty timid. I usually only see them at dinner time.
