Flashing Tilefish

[Madreefer]

Does anyone have one of these or know anything about their survival rate or care? Would like to get a pair.

They don't do captivity very well, prefer to be in pairs or trios and need to be photo acclimated. Also make sure you have a tight lid as they are notorious jumpers.

My brother's died, It's a fast way to loose $150.00 (They are very timid also).

That's a shame, they'd certainly make a nice addition to my blue tilefish. :(

Thanks for the info. Helped me make my decision not to get any.

Probably another one of those species best left in the ocean, they have a terrible shipping history actually. Live aquaria won't even give you an arrive alive guarantee.
