That's how I do a lot of my own research on species that I'm not familiar with, or even with species I'm on the fence about. I am familiar with the Melanurus having kept a few over the years. The one I have now is definitely pugnacious, and the boss of the tank. So far she has left the conchs alone, but has eaten almost all my snails. Now that I said she's left the Peppermint alone, I actually haven't seen it for a few days now. I think she's worth it though because she's good at keeping the bristleworm population under control, and I like to think she helps with coral parasites, but maybe I just haven't had any issues lately...? She is always picking away at the corals, and her belly is always bulging.
