Praise the Lord from the earth, you great sea creatures and all ocean depths 

This pair has been together for about a year.  The female was aquired first at about 1" size and kept for about 6 months and had grown to around 2" before being paired with the male which was about 1" long at the time of paring.  The pairing was easy as the female actively sought out the company of the male from the first.  

These fish host a colony of green Rhodactis on a live rock 'bommie' on one end of the tank, but will swim the entire length of the tank for feedings and begging from the fishkeeper.  They are not aggressive to other fish or the fishkeepers hand (unlike my Ocellaris pair). The male will sometimes take a nibble of a frozen raw shrimp right from my hand.
