Chalk Bass

[blastprimo]

I was looking at one of these guys (chalk Bass-from subject). A LFS had them very small (about 1") and the books that I have read say they are reef safe and fish friendly. I am setting up a 20H with SPS corals and I am planning for a pair of tank raised cinnamon clowns. I was just wondering if anyone would see any problems with this fish? Something maybe i havn't looked at. Thanks.

I think this would be a pretty good choice. They stay relatively small, don't nip at stuff, and aren't very agressive, except towards pseudochomis, or basslets. This should be a good match with the clowns.

Thats kind of what I was figuring. Just wanted to make sure i didn't overlook something in the reading. Thanks for the quick reply.

I figured that I would post the pic of the chalk bass that I ended up buying. He is more colorful then I expected. This pic is also in my thread on the nano tank pictures section.

That's a very nice looking specimen. The ones I usually see at the LFS are more cream and brown.
