It's more 50/50 it will live. Google that.

A chunk if people have had great luck. But a huge amount of these fish die in months.

Seriously reconsider this purchase. Reef safe is the least of your worries.

All of them eat and appear healthy. Only to mysteriously die.

Search threads even on Canreef. Very common.

I suspect if you buy the fish... You will start a much different thread shortly after.
