I spotted these on the LiveAquaria DD and they seem very interesting and saw that they turn all yellow with black stripes. So I am trying to find out alittle more about them from yall since there isnt much on the web.
Thanks
Heath

Easy to keep, likes somewhat cooler water (subtropical). I wouldn't rule out coral nipping, but I don't think they are as prone to as butterflyfish.

About 6 inches, pretty nippy towards other fish (Personal experience watching them at work) and I personally wouldn't put them in a reef (I was strongly considering a trio for my tank) They definitely like swimming a lot, so I'd probably go with a 6 foot tank. The 4 foot we have them in doesn't seem like enough room.
