I think that the difficulty of these fish has been exaggerated. I haven't had one myself, but I know people that have kept them for years. I think it is an outdated rule that belongs in the days in which they used cyanide to catch fish, something that affects their eating habits and perhaps like most finicky fish, affects them more. I was at the LFS the other day and they had a crap load and they were going crazy in the tank during feeding. I think LFS are starting to pressure importers so they receive sustainable samples in their shipments.

You are absolutely correct!

In all my years of diving I have seen many thousands of them and I can't recall seeing them alone, that is not to say it never occurs. I rarely see them go well alone and have seen them grow very long streamers (at least 10inch). They may come from water up to 30c but I have had better results at lower temperatures.

Yes they can go for some coral in the absents of foods they prefer, I have had them with many species of coral that they have not touched. I am not here to tell you what is right or wrong from a text book, I am sharing my experience, which is neither right or wrong!

"You're the only one who can get in and out of that thing. What we need you to do is take a pebble inside and jam the gears. You do that and this tank's gonna get filthier and filthier by the minute. Pretty soon, the dentist'll have to clean the tank himself. And when he does, he'll take us out of the tank, put us in the individual baggies, then we roll ourselves down the counter, out of the window, off the awning, into the bushes, across the street and into the harbor! It's foolproof!"

Tips- keep more than one- keep in an establish tank with lots of micro fauna- keep with other slow feeding fish that don't pluck- allow algae growth -get them on spectrum - add at low salinity - don't let the temperature above 28c - keep in a large tank with lots of cover minimum 400lt - hope you get a good one!

its not hard to keep them once you have one that was not stress out when they was capture, two make sure you have live rock and plants , also you need a good protein skimmer once they start eating these guys are pigs when i come to food they will eat all day if you let them,and they grow fast!! so a large tank is require like over 75 gal and up bigger is better and easier
