I'm looking for a shoaling/schooling fish for my reef that wouldn't end up in the belly of a moray (which rules out the usual suspects like anthias and chromis). I came across the squirrelfish, which looks slightly bigger than an eel mouth and good in groups. But they seem to be a fairly rare fish -- yet also not super expensive. I mean look at this cutie which LA has in stock for $60:
The only red flags I see is the short lifespan, and potential feeding difficulty. Has anyone tried anything in this family?
