Need to save LMB - can 2 live in a 55 gal tank?

[drakken]

A person in my office has a 12 gal Eclipse with a damsel and LMB. The tank is in horrible shape with tons of hair algae and an oil slick on top. There is about 1 pound of rock and maybe 2 inches of sand.
Anyway, the poor LMB is emaciated. He is active and eats flake but obviously he's starving. Also, he his vey light colored - almost white. This person doesn't really care if the fish die.

I have a 55 gal with a LMB already in it. If I offer to take the LMB will the one I have bother it?
Are there white LMBs or is this one probably sick too?

The whiteness sounds fine. My lmb's colors fade in and out depending where he is in the tank. When he is on my aragonite, he is white. When he is on my rock, he is dark.
I would take it and try to raise it to good health in your tank. I don't see it being a problem. I have seen two lmbs in the same tank before without any problems. Just make sure they are both getting enough food.
Good luck!
