Cowfish has any one had problems with this fish wiping out your tank?

Kept a yellow cowfish way back.

When you move him do it in a container and don't remove him from the water, once to add him to the 300 gal do frequent water changes for 48 hours to remove any potential toxins.

Note: with these fish it can be helpful to target feed them, as they aren't competive feeders
