Started this tank last month.  I think they are young.  I've seen some posturing that might be mating behavior but nothing solid.  All individuals are eating.  They are by themselves in a 20 gal tall.

update.  Continuing to do well.  Eating Reef Veggie pellets, Omega One pellets, frozen mysis, live BBS.
Possible spawning today, few fish were eating, staying hidden.
