    Has anyone kept one of these before? They are one of my favorite fish and I'm thinking about trying one in the near future. There isn't much info about them on the web so anything you know about them is appreciated. I know they are rare and expensive.

    Thanks. So far the only info I have been able to find about them is that sometimes they are hard to get eating, So if I ever do get one I will get as many foods as possible to try and get it to eat.

    They get 3.5 inch.
    it nips at zoas
    the most hard thing is getting them to feed low lighting lots of hiding spots, and to help encourage it too feed put chromis in there or a flasher wrasse to help explore nad feed. keep it in low traffic areas so it dosent get spooked. keep temps from 72-79 F
