It's a brackish water fish that. Eats aptashia and bubble algae so I've been told so don't flex. Just trying to figure out the facts

 

[Dustin Norris]

[dedragon]

Scag....scat...that's a horse of a different color
Sorry I'm not familiar but I was curious what a scag fish was so I clicked... I'll follow here to learn about this fish though. I'm sure someone has some info; stand by

Although scat were named for their purported habit of feeding on offal, the name of the genus Scatophagus means "dung eater".[5] it may be a misnomer as this behaviour has not been confirmed in diet studies.

Apparently not that different a colour...

My tangs eat enough poop in my tanks. I don't need anything else to do cleanup "doody" right now.

I'm not personally a big fan of scats. They don't have a lot of color and personality, they have a big bioload, and they aren't reef safe. They won't go around like an angelfish or puffer and eat big bites of coral, but they will still cause problems. Fleshy LPS, softies, and anemones will be lunch, and SPS are at risk. I also don't like how brackish fish look in a reef, it seems unnatural to me. They do eat aiptasia, so they have that going for them. If you want something that will eat aiptasia, I suggest a Molly Miller blenny. They aren't big on color, but they don't take up much space and they do have personality. They might eat rock flower anemones and small mushrooms, though. Hope this helps!

Thanks @dedragon that's literally all I did; just asked a question and welcomed ya. Meant no harm/rudness

Never knew this, have you used many before for nuisance aiptasia? Really cool if there is another small aiptasia eater out there

Never kept one personally, but that's just because I love rock flowers. They are also supposed to eat cyano. This article is pretty good.

Molly Miller Blennies for Aiptasia Control? - CORAL Magazine

There is growing evidence that this blenny may be yet another valuable tool in the war on pest anemones in reef aquariums!
