They will eat live foods so they may tear into the pod population in your tank. I have heard they are reef safe , but dont have any actual experience with them in a reef tank. As far as being together . they are fairly social fish and the males (like most males , regardless of species) like to have several females around

. You can find info on them at www.fishbase.org and www.wetwebmedia.com . HTH.

Thanks for the tips Blue Tuna

When the tank is all setup it will have a refugium along with DSB in the tank so hopefully they won't be able to eat em' all. Maybe I'll get 1 male and 2 females
