I am having a hard time finding info on these fish. Could someone either lead me to a website or give me some general info on their care. Basically, are they any different than a 6 line in caretaking?

Ive seen em up to 5". Shares the same temperament as 4 and 6 liners. Eat shrimpies and other sm crustaceans. Ideal for md to large FO. Easy to feed and not demanding at all.

Definitely would not recommend for reef...

i got one in a reef.. He does eat ALOT.. If your put the dried brine, he will eat 4-5 pieces and be big and fat. Never touched the flatworms.. Never bothered any corals.. Softies atleast.. I myself would stay away from him, as he WILL KILL any shrimp in your tank.. He is buddies with a foxface and clowns.. I would try finding a really small one if i was you.. 2+ inches eat like monsters.

Well, he is going in a reef tank that also houses a dwarf lion so shrimp are of no concern. He is also going to be the last fish so hopefully aggression won't be a problem. Thanks for the info.

I get him tomorrow so we will see what happens.
