    Well I got a muelleri butterfly almost 2 weeks ago... My first hurtle was getting him to not pick at corals. Luckily he was not a picker!
    Second was getting him to eat. Now coming from a guy that got every fish I've owned to eat frozen within a few days, 2 weeks is a new record for me. (I've even gotten pipefish on frozen in less than a week) so finally today he started sampling bloodworms! Now I'm not out of the tunnel just yet but at least I can see the light :)

    This guy is usually out and about until he sees a camera, then he's shy all of the sudden:
