    It is hard to feed. I dont know much about them myself, but i know they some will simply reject all food and starve. This is just what i hear!

    Some are hardy, easy to feed, and easy to catch, etc but others eat coral polyps and are very difficult to feed.

    They say that because they are finicky eaters who will starve themselves. Although with an established aquarium and the know how to feed them they are very hardy and amazing fish

    The trick to get them to start feeding is Copepods and amphipods
