Marine Betta or Comet Fish

Does anyone have one of these in their reef tank? I recently acquired one from a gentleman who passed away. It hasn't caused any problems with my inverts at this point, but I was curious if anyone else had any experience with them.
Thanks

They are a pretty cool fish. They are a quite hardy fish, but they are somewhat reclusive, and more nocturnal by nature. Not a candidate for a Sohal Tang/Clown trigger/Mappa puffer type tank, do much better in a reef type tank. They can sometimes be a little finicky to get accepting prepare foods. Your inverts should be fine with the Comet, save for any small shrimp.
Oh and no, they are not related to groupers in any fashion.
You have PM on the way to a great article on Comets.

I keep a Marine Betta in my 240....have had him about 4 years.....really hid at first, but once mine got use to the movement he was fine. He's a mad man at feeding time.....that's one way to get him out though.
