That's not a fish I would recommend. They get to big real quick and will destroy a reef.

Waddi is right.Their not clown fish.Spotted sweetlips are in the grunt family same as snapper.And the reason you don't read about them much on the forums,is MOST of us can't afford a tank big enough to support them long term ( more than 6 months).

not sure if anyone has had the same experience with this fish but when I would go into the local LFS i would get, I have the perfect fish for your tank, will go great with everything else in the tank and best of all its on special.. 7 out of 10 times it was a sweetlips.. always told them the same thing give me a 300 gal tank or so with it at that price and I'll take it..:D
