Been with me since Jan this year. Letting go to reduce bioload. Feeds on shrimp and clams. $25. Reef-safe to corals but will move frags and loose rock around. Approx 7.5”

Bro. Not sure info how true but doesn’t seem to be reef safe and said to chew on corals. Looks to be the same as parrot fish that Chew’s corals to find food and grind their teeth. Worried someone would buy and lose their corals. Research yourself first. No offence.

[mention=26518]VanquishJ[/mention] Thanks for the info but I have kept it safely with corals in my tank. Not sure where you got this info from(looks like handlinefishing which is a fishing site and does not specialise in Fish habits) but tuskfish do not include coral in their diet, they mainly eat crustaceans and mollusks. I suggest you do more thorough research instead of wrongly singling others out. I did warn that they will move small rocks and frags around. The reason they do this is to search for food in the rockwork. Not to munch on corals. It’s not Reef-safe as far as invertebrates go. It is certainly not a parrotfish and does not need to grind its teeth on corals/rock. Look it up, it’s more closely related to wrasses.

No issue. Got it from this place.
Habits need to scroll down. Just sharing but they decide on their own. No issue. Better for them to research on their own too and not only believe what they see me post. Haha.

Pardon me if I came off aggressive with my response bro. I’m just tired of seeing people mistake tuskfish for parrotfish or members of the same family when it’s more likely for something like a Dragon Wrasse to do more damage to a reef than this fish.

No issue bro. Haha. Cause I kanna before. Buy wrong fish, corals wiped out. For people who keep fowlr tank, it is a very nice fish to keep. I keep separate tanks. One reef safe one none. No issue there. Can actually buy molly and slowly get them used to salt water and feed if you can’t find live feeders.

Should mention the type of corals also matters. E.g. you can keep large angels with most sps but most lps and polyps will be food. A lot of misconception about Fish being corallivores when they’re not, in some cases even Tang species begin “munching” on corals when not fed adequately.

Lol. My tangs eat live fishes. Ever put small fishes inside and they ate them. My auto feeder feeds them 5x a day and 6 cubes at night, they still keep eating. No comments. Hahaha.
