i am sure this topic has been discussed tons of time...wifey said to get a pair of pipe fish and questions is if they r ideal for a reef tank in terms if they will be alright in a high water turn over sps tank...there isnt too much flow on the around the bottom of my tank since i hve few lps also..
also what r they feeding requirements .....i can always keep up with the pods population and i feed my tank once a day.....any experience with pipe fishes???

Yes, my Dragon face is doing really well. He is in my 20 gallon Zoa tank and lives with a hector goby, wrasse, scooter blenny, harlequin shrimp and two sexy shrimp. Have not had any issues with him or anyone picking on him or anything. I do try and dose a bottle of tigger pods once a month since all my fish are pod eaters. He will eat the ova as well. I did have some lapse in adding tigger pods to the tank and the other dragon face I had wasn't an ova eater, so eventually he passed. This one is super happy, explores the tank constantly and has been neat to watch in my tank. I really enjoy him.
