Oriental Sweetlips info

[bcournoyer5]

Hello,

I am thinking about getting two oriental sweetlips but don’t know too much about them. Could someone post some information on them including care/feeding? They would go in a 125 with only a blue regal tang.

They get over 2' in length and would require a massive tank.

+1 they get big and imo ugly. They also tend to starve to death in most reef tanks.

They are a delicate species as juveniles, often refusing food. As they mature their pattern changes drastically and they can eat tankmates.
