    Anyone have any experience with these? I know they tend to eat parasites and pods and need a very established tank with lots of live rock. I have over 140 pounds of live rock and my tank is very well established with lots of pods and miniature life. I also have a sea urchin for it to host. Anyone with any experience, please make an input on it's feeding habits etc. Thanks in advance.
    K+ to anyone with a good input for me :D

    I have heard of them being fed mysid and brine shrimp. Have only seen videos them but they are some very cool little fish. Good luck with one if you can find it.
