Has anyone any experience with this fish?

Are they commonly available in our local LFS?

Do they try their luck with turbo snails? Even when they are well fed?

Are they fast growers?

If you have any comments about this fish, do drop it in here. Thanks

Current Tank: 2 ft with 2ft sump, 2 pyjama Cardinals, 1 Watchman Goby, 8 sand gobies, common saltwater shrimps, 3 turbo snails. 1 super green paly

Hi Bro

Certain invertebrates cannot be kept with Harlequin Tusk Fish. If you wish to keep Shrimps together, the shrimps has to be introduce long before this fish goes into your tank.

Did keep my Harlequin with 2 cleaner shrimp for 1 year before my cleaner shrimps die of old age. Now my Harlequin been with me for 2 years 4 months.

Easy to feed and eat also anything. Mine is not aggressive against fishes (any size).

Welcome to the Harlequin Tusk fan club.
