Well as long as the fish you add aren't bite-sized you won't have a problem. They have zero aggression, it's either eat or ignore.
Caught one a few weeks ago that is now eating Hikari nori pellets. Definitely one of the easiest lions to get onto dead food, and they're really hardy.
Yeah, often. All of the Genicanthus are reef safe, and you can usually keep multiple species together. I've got G. watanabei and G. lamarck together. Really nice fish.
They're a burrowing goby, but don't associate with shrimp. Probably ok with other gobies if the size is similar. Problem is that most Valenciennea get huge compared to other gobies.
Difficult unless you've seen both in person. They're both dust-like with much smaller spots than whitespot. Brook tends to make fish slime a lot and the fins get tattered.
If it is actually velvet, you'll have to remove and treat them immediately. It often kills fast...hours rather than days. Easy to confuse with whitespot and Brooklynella though, so be sure you know what it is so that you have the right treatment.
If you use playsand with low flow then you sometimes get sulphur buildup, which is black/grey and gets darker the deeper the sand is. Not a problem in small areas, but if your whole substrate is like that then you want to increase flow.
Some Centropyge eat it. Both of my jumping beans do. All of the Pomacanthus angels eat it, but they'll usually get started on your corals once it runs out. Got three small tennenti surgeons in my other tank that also eat it.
