    To be honest I got it from a shop that I don't use that much, I would always watch a fish for a hour and see it feeding before I would part with any money but that day I must of been in a rush and when I saw it I thought that is coming home with me

    But I did notice that after 24 hours it was not feeding and was hiding out of the way a lot ...could of been my yellow tang or the flame angle upsetting it or the shops fault, I just don't know.

    I have seen another one yesterday at my local fish shop but if it is still there tomorrow it might come home with me
