That is a particularly nice rubrimarginatus from the Philippines. The yellow on the belly is spectacular.

Thanks guys! Our choati has been with us for 11 months and is constantly darting in and out of the rock work, making it difficult to snag a decent pic, LOL.

^. I can imagine so! I eventually want a male kuiters and a chaoti to go with my leopard collection: this far I have a male blue star, female blue star, two black leopards, an ornate, a potters, and two regular melagris.

M. kuiteri can be aggressive. I would not recommend keeping a M. choati (same complex and a much more delicate fish to keep) with one.

 

[4FordFamily]

I would put the chaoti in my wrasse tank with 7 other leopards, and the male kuiters by himself with my tang tank. Good to know, thanks!

Agree; M. kuiteri is the most aggressive of the genus (generally speaking).
