Question on Clown Tang

[tankguy]

anyone know why they are listed as expert only?

I don't have experience, but I was curious and found this.

Two things I saw notable:

- extremely active swimmers and need well oxygenated water
- can go on hunger strike because they don't ship well

Also that link mentions they have a poor survival rate.
