Harlequin Tusk
I have been asked by my wife and kids time and time over to get harlequin tusk. I do understand that this fish may not be reef safe. I am going to make a 125 Gallon FOWLR tank for him.
What are the Pros and Cons of this fish?

he is my personal favorite aggressive fish.. he swims a lot but not as much as the lunar or banana... fun fish to watch.. easy to train to feed out of your hand.. awesome color
.. he needs a good amount of space to swim ( he might outgrow the 125 in 2 years) ... eats/poop a lot.. cant really add clean-u crew... he loves eating them... ( you might get lucky and get smart snail like i did... they learned to eat at night to avoid getting eaten in the day... and he cost a decent amount... ohh.. and they are jumpers... YzGyz YzGyz

Like others have said these are beautiful fish and very fun to watch and feed. I would recommend the Australian Harlequin for their color and hardiness. They are a bit more $$ but worth IMO. They will eat shrimp and snails, but your coral should be fine.
