    how is it doing if you still have it?

    we get them at my work and i like them. the ones we have do pretty well. our clowns love them when we get them in. we have gotten some very cool ones like a yellow one and green one.

    i havent seen them more than 1 foot ANYWHERE on 3reef or on the internet with proof its in an aquarium. i was reading on wet web media that they do not fair well. i know you said you havent had a problem at your work so why do you think they say this??
