    im thinking of getting one of these guys for my 55 gallon tank.

    only fish inhabitant right now is a yellow tail damsel
    inverts: harlequin starfish, rock urhcin(my fav).

    the only prob with me getting one? im not sure on tak requirements, or what fish would be ok. im looking at a peaceful tank, will be adding more corals whenever i get some more money.

    so can anyone give me any care requirements?

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Very, very hard invert to keep long term. Needs a constant supply of suspended food particles to live. I know of a handful of people that have been able to keep them and they were in tanks devoted to filter feeders. Beautiful creature but better left in the ocean IMO.
