Den Zitronenzwergkaiser habe ich zwei Jahre in meinen Riffbecken gehalten.Nachdem er als erstes die kleine vorhandene Glasrosenpopulation vernichtet hat,was ich gut fand,zupfte er ab und zu an den Lederkorallen.Hat die Tiere jedoch nicht ersthaft geschädigt.
Danach hat er zwei Steinkorallen regelrecht zerlegt und eine beschädigt.
Mußte Ihn leider aus meinem Hauptbecken entfernen.
Resumee: schöner Fisch,gut haltbar,frißt alles an Futter nach Eingewöhnung sogar Trockenfutter.
Meiner hatte leider eine Vorliebe für Steinkorallen
