Who has a Yellow Candy Hogfish? Bodianus bimaculatus

[Myka]

Ok, thanks for the information guys!

I just might have to add one to my tank. Thanks for the side note Kevin...good to know he will be ok with my Blue Assessor. I am not ready to add any more fish at this time. I still have fish in my QT waiting to go into my display right now!!

I've also noticed the past couple nights that he really only comes out of rock hiding when the MH goes off and its just my T5's (Fiji Purple, Actinic+)... Wondering if they might be sensitive to high light?

I've got one as well, had him since last December. Great fish and he fit right in with the others nicely. I have him in with a tailspot wrasse and royal gramma (the most likely to have any aggression with IMO) and some other fish and I've had no problems at all. A great little yellow bullet of color in the tank

I have one in my tank with a mystery wrasse and a solerensis wrasse and a cleaner wrasse, they don't bother each other at all. Other tank mates include regal tang, yellow tang, kole tand, hawkfish, bicolor blenny and clownfish...

I had one years ago in my previous tank and it's a great community fish. From what I've read they are sensitive to high light tanks.

For the first week my guy never really showed himself, now he's out and about all day even when the halides are on full tilt.

This fish was one of my "must have" fish based on my previous experience with it. It is a beautiful fish. Mine had really nice pink colouration in the yellow.

Hope this helps.

I would recommend it in any reef tank...

Thanks for more replies!! Now I'm going to seriously think about adding one of these. I am getting closer to capacity though, so I need to think long and hard about the last few additions.
