I did have hi O2 levels in the water and a salinity that bordered the higher end, and zero nitrates or anything else.. I think the water condition is the most important thing for this fish, I had all SPS so I had very nutrient pour water to start with and in my opinion this is the key. they are sensitive to ammonia, nitrite and nitrate, way more so than other fish.

how high is to bordered the higher end for salinity I think I have it in 33.6 (lights on) and 34.4 (lights off)
