They are very cool looking. I was considering one for my nano, but then I read the information on them.

I accidentally ordered one through a wholesaler before on their advice. It didn't survive very long, wouldn't eat anything.

All they eat is SPS Polyps. This is one fish that should NEVER be taken outta the sea!!!

Personally as a hobbiest and a store owner there are many fish and corals I will not sell. That is one of them along with a long list of things I don't think are a good idea to harvest or sell. Just my 2 cents

It is good to know that there ARE people who care about the reefs. Some places will sell anything to anyone just to make a profit.

Sweet!!! I would like to see that. I believe in trying to preserve what we have. I know that it is possible to enjoy the worlds seas without destroying them.

I was in my LFS the other day, and I was thinking along those lines. I think if I had an LFS, I would refuse to carry certain creatures. I would also post it on a sign: "I do not carry the following animals: " followed by a not-all-inclusive list. It would then explain these animals do not fare well in captivity. Personally, given the option, I would choose to frequent a store that refused to carry doomed animals over one that did not.
