Liopropoma rubre or mowbrayi......Greg?

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to find some info on the behavior of L. rubre and L. mowbrayi. Both are from the Caribbean, and I'd like to include one or the other in a Caribbean tank I'm setting up, but I'd like a fish that's out more than it hides.

How bold are they? I've kept L. swalesi before, and although mine was bold I've definitely come across some that were more secretive. If they are as bold as this one was I'd gladly get one. Also, where on earth would I find a L. mowbrayi? Is the Marine Center a good place to start?

They're both very much like the swalesi you had. They'll be shy at first but learn to come out more each day. All three have the same temperament and requirements IME. Go with the one you like I've seen them offered at liveaquaria, TMC, and I believe reeftopia.
