Teriffic Tuskfish?

[Breakthecycle2]

Anyone ever have a "Teriffic tuskfish"? Scientific name Choerodon zamboanga? Looking for max size and reef compatibility.

It’s a deep water fish, and your best bet finding one would be in an Australian or Phillipines order. Probably one of the least commonly seen fish in the trade. Similar behavior to the harlequin tusk and max out at around the same size.

I found one actually. I didnt want to just buy it without knowing anything.

I think they max out at about 18" in the wild. The only time I've seen one was in a restaurants tank in Indonesia and it was about a foot. It was in with big fish only and I'm not sure I'd trust it with small fish or cuc.
