Well put Dan. I purchased the Condy and the Maroon as my first additions to my newly set up tank about 1 year ago. I still have the condy to this day, his tentacles reach upwards of 9 inches (see photos), But when I first introduced him to the tank he went thru a bad spell, shedding his tentacles by twisting them off at the base. Go with what Dan said because its really not worth the headache. Regardless of what you do, the Condy and clowns are a great purchase for the freshman, very hardy in my opinion, so good luck.
