Schooling Bannerfish

[AGM1]

Is heniochus diphreutes a good reef inhabitant for a tank that is 60Lx24Hx18D with a 55 gallon sump. What are some good tankmates (coral, inverts, other fish) for the Bannerfish?

All the books say so but the issue is that the more common bannerfish is the non-reef safe one.

I've not seen the schooling bannerfish for sale in any of my local shops and the only place I've seen it on the internet is Vivid Aquariums.

I'm looking to get a school myself once I'm able to move up to a bigger tank than the 55 gallon I have at the momment.

It is very important that you get the reef safe one. They are almost impossible to identify as juvies and its still hard as they reach adulthood. There is an old thread on here I will try to go find that I would strongly suggest reading (the whole thing and attached links within thread).....brb

Here it is.....found it quicker than I thought I would.
