Harlequin tusk

Someone is willing to give me one for free I know they will eat inverts but besides that are they able to go on a Reef
Looking for people who has kept the fish in Reef or non Reef tanks

How aggressive are they towards other fish


I have a 265 with 5 tangs ,15 anthias, 14 wrasses

Wouldn’t have a tank without one! Bite size crabs and snails may disappear but it’s worth it!
I believe that I’ve had 1 in at least 1 of my tanks (FO & reef) since 1973....not aggressive that I can remember

God lucky!

One of my favorite fish.

If I could have one in a 75g I’d get all my fish out today.

My 450g DT is down and I’m almost ready to add water to my new 500g 6’x5’ DT. I will get a tusk for this tank, I had no problems with the previous one in the 450g reef with 80 fish, most of them being much smaller than the tusk

Have one in my 180 great fish. I would definitely go with the smaller size so they don't become the bully of the tank, but for the most part a great addition.
