This fish is so underrated.

[@TopShelfAquatics]

Truly an underrated fish to add into any reef tank! Thanks for the comment!

I've had mine a few months. When I got it, it was incredibly small and would hide all the time. Now that it is bigger, it is more bold, but not aggressive.

[@TopShelfAquatics]

Always fun to watch them come into their own! Especially when they become more confident in the tank!

I added a trio of chalk bass to my 600g and mixed in with Anthias. They have become aggressive when eating and will come up to the middle and top of the tank to feed. A great addition to any tank. 🙌

[@TopShelfAquatics]

They are ferocious eaters! Hope all is well with the 600G!!

Just got one a few weeks ago, one of the few cheap and beautiful reef fish out there!

[@DesertRider760]

It's definitely a fish I wasn't to add to my system!
Now, I do want to see a video on lionfish, more specifically the dwarf variety. Please 🙏

[@TopShelfAquatics]

Will get that in the pipeline!

[@ReefontheCouch]

[@TopShelfAquatics]

Let's get you one!

Is it possible to keep these in small schools of fish? Let's say four or five in a 120 gallon tank

[@TopShelfAquatics]

Absolutely, we have a trio in our retail tank display!

I had one from ORA. Kept scratching from the start. After a few months it died. Should have never moved it from the QT to DT. ORA doesn't believe it's a problem from them.

[@TopShelfAquatics]

That is an expensive snack!
