    Let me qualify my inner debate by saying I consider myself a coral beginner but I have a lot of fowlr experience with difficult fish. Ive never owned a boxfish/cowfish however. A black boxfish at Seascapes caught my eye the other day. It may be bought already but I can always order one if I were to get one. I thought Id ask if I am being ridiculous thinking of keeping one. Anyone have experience with them? I dont think I have any fish that will stress it out badly.


    One spot foxface

    Flame hawkfish

    Blue/Green Chromis

    Ocellaris Clown

    Yellow Coris Wrasse

    Rainfordi Goby

    Neon Goby


    I have a 75gal mixed reef that is 5 months old. This would be my final fish added.


    Edit: And I just realized this is in the Buy/Sell section instead of general. If it can be moved please do. Thanks.

    Saw the same fish the other day when I dropped by, gorgeous! Normally I would think a 75 gal would be too small but seeing how you don't have any large tangs/triggers or anything I could see it working out. As long as you don't add any overly aggressive tank mates down the road, which would undoubtedly lead to a higher chance of your tank being nuked by this guy out of stress.

    Live aquaria says 70g, they are pretty good about tank size recommendations.

    Thanks for the thoughts. I may give it a go.
