Anyone have experience with "serranus tortugarum" aka Chalk Bass?

man i love reviving ancient threads....
I just acquired a school of 5 chalk bass and they are so awesome.
beautiful coloration and they school in my 72 bowfront tank.
They were very secretive at first but once they had worked out their pecking order and became a unit they are much more active members of my reef scape.

They are a distant relative to grammas (and basslets in general) and act very similarily to them without the territorial aggression.

I looked for a school for almost 6 months before JL aquatics got some in that were captured together and were healthy.

I am more and more appreciative of these fish everyday as they get more comfortable in their home, they seem to enjoy swimming high in the water colum as much as they like to hide an rocks (near each other, so if you feed the tank it's like a chalk bass explosion from your live rock) and hang out on the substrate and all in all for 25 bucks a piece offer great value to us salties.

Bump for chalk bass.
