Testiment that as a properly collected and handled Bandit (at the correct size) though more expensive but will feed easily and thrive for years to come. Still do not understand the mentality of purchasing from the poorly collected but cheaper sources. IMO, purchasing bandit of such quality will save the hassle of killing more bandits from cheaper source and in long run, its money saving instead.

Bro, do you have a actual pic of it??? And location to collect?

No issue, think you might want to remove it as the smaller one of my carmabi pair when missing after my bigger peppermint hog start to get bossy and aggressive. My helfrich dartfish pair that spawn and dance in courtship regularly no longer goes abt their routine and I hardly see them now.

The candy cane hog is a small but extremely aggressive fish. Like the peppermint, once established, they will bully any longish fish equal or smaller to them. New additions will be harass and older inhabitant that are small and more docile will not be let off either. The Terelabrus is an extremely docile and cryptic fish and will not tolerate the harassement from the Bodianus hog. Mystery wrasse though not from the Bodianus family is another very aggreesive fish once established. Many reefers have mentioned that their mystery goes after fairies and flasher to the point they go carpet surfing.

When full estbalished, the peppermint family are rather aggressive as what bro Digiman have said. They will attack any smaller and shy fishes such as basslet, gramma, dartfish etc. They are prolific jumper and will attack smaller invert such as sexy shirmp. Bigger skunks or blood shrimps will be left alone.

Go get it bro! Important is right source, right size and proper handling and acclimatizing method.

Am working on that bro, Looking maybe next year

Yes thats true but alot of time, the fish is actually feeding on the slime secreted by the corals instead of the coral itself but they get reefers so jumpy that they insist on fishing out the fish without understanding what is actually happening. Especially true for Singapore reefers because from the time we started this hobby, we get educated by lfs owners that butterflies and angels are corallivore which is totally not true.

You are pretty safe with Joculator as my pair leaves all my corals alone. However, its still a matter of luck because I have that tear through any brain-like coral last time.

Nope they do not however, I do not have the fleshy stuffs such as scolymia or cynarina so I can't tell you if they nip such corals which are usually the favourite target. However, it's important to note that same dwarfs are more prone to coral nipping while others are not while others are 50/50. For example, lemon peel & bicolor angel have a bad reputation, flame and argi angel are pretty much 50/50 while joculator pretty much leave the coral alone. In fact, mine seem to take food from water column leading me to think that they are more zooplanktivore rather than micro algae grazer.

Nope they dun. The 1st pic is my female rusty x flame angel with more rusty blood while the 9th pic is my male rusty x flame with more flame blood.

Nothing to wow about bro, still facing nutrient issue due to high bio-load

No gems bro, just a small collection. Tank out of space already :fear:

Doing a compilation of the fishes I have in my extremely heavy bio-load tank, most of which I have a pair Also my picasso pair have been brandish into sump as I am pumping up a tiny fellow in my main tank.

Thats a acanthurus thompsoni tang. Peaceful fellow but require a big tank as it is an open water swimming fish.
