really nice looking fish. does anyone know what sort of tank requirements are needed and if they could be kept with clowns?

why do they need to be provided with corals? do they eat them?

I love these fish but they are dead so soon as they leave the ocean, impossiable to keep alive unless you have a constant supply of acropora to feed it.

It really is a shame as they are stunning fish, chances are the ones in the shop will die pretty soon.

There are some people in the US who have had so limited success but spreading a paste food onto a acropora skeleton but it's a lot of work.
