So far, mine has left my other fish alone, TONS of personality, and eats algae better than a tang.

They leave other fish alone, except other parrotfish. Fairly active, quite peaceful, not usually too picky about food.

Larger specimens(5+") have trouble during transport, especially if they are shipped.
