Taiwan reefs can get to 8" IME, and usually should be housed in a 75 or more. The Taiwan reef is a beautiful fish and could be housed in a 55 for first 2-3 years with SOME peacocks, but I'm unsure about the Spilo's? Tank MUST have very good filtration(like 2 Fluval 404 or comparable as the fish get over 5".
