Harlequin Tusk

[ken6217]

Does anyone have one of these fish in their reef tank? How are they? I read that cleaner shrimp etc would be on their diet, but also heard that if the shrimp are in the tank first that it would work. Any comments from people that have done it?

Thanks,
Ken

I don't know about this one I've never seen a shrimp or anything small for that matter get away from one of these guys.I had a 3-4" tusk and put him in a tank with a 6+" puffer and he took a chunk out of the puffer,that could have been a mistake but it was ugly none the less.

i had tusk and he use to chance my anthias and wrasses to the point that the anthias were afraid to come out to eat. Plus i noticed some of the crabs and snails dissapeared after i got him. I think tusks should be kept in fowlr tanks.
