    Ok so before anybody goes negative I saw a good chance to keep one of these. I had them feed it and out of the 6 they had there the one i got ate like a pig goin after those mysis and seaweed. i will try to take pics of it. Im prepared bought seaweed, mysis, brine spirulina for him to eat. I know my tank mite be a little small but ive only got 2 clownfish and alot of open space for the MI. If you have any advice(besides how hard he is to take care of:)) and i will try to take pics later.

    Thanks;D

    Well, the fact that it is eating is a very good start.

    My main advice to you now that you have a MI, and it appears to be eating, is that you should plan on getting a much bigger tank in the very near future. I have not seen anyone keep one successfully in less than 200g tank.
