I ordered a medium Panther Grouper for my aggressive tank and he came in a little smaller than I was hoping...1 1/2"- 2"...
Right now he's in a 10gal QT for a few weeks (highly recommended for all new acquisitions) but then, depending on growth rate, I may need to place him in my Nano Reef to continue "growing out" so he won't fit in my Lions mouth...
Two questions...
1. I've read much about how quickly they grow when small...Will he double in size in a month??
2. If I do place him in the reef (temporarily..maybe an additional month) beside "waste" concerns, are they "Reef safe" or would he eat my inverts...mostly softies...?? Again only in the 2"-3" range, about the same size as my Clowns...
* I've posted this in the reef forum, in reference to the inverts...but ask again here for growth rate experiance...*
