It's generally not an overly difficult fish to get to live in a tank - that is if you know how to pick one that hasn't been damaged by the supply chain.
Getting large ones is generally a good way to set yourself up for failure.
Small ones between 2 and 4 inches are IME the most likely to survive and thrive in a reef tank.
Larger ones I would only buy if I see them eating well in person - not just nibbling a bit but really digging in.
