Hello,
I have already done my homework on this one, just want to know stories
about yours. Anyone had success or failure with these?
Thanks,
Ryan

Failure.  Mine lived for 3 to 4 weeks only in 120 gal. tank wi th 8 other fish.  Fenner says we have no business taking them from the wild because they never last. 
Howcome everything in my tank looks brown?

I've had one for over a year. It eats flake and cyclop-ezee.

Its fun to watch him chase after the powder blue.

Suzy has had one in her tank for years. 

I figured she would add to this, but maybe she missed it since it doesn't say anythat about seahorses.

thanks Will. Good news again.

Jeff, I think they have a forum on here that pertains to that more.
I think it’s called the “coral forum” or something crazy like that.

We bought one about a month ago. It loves the spectrum flakes (with garlic), but it also eats cyclopeez, frozen brine, and copopods (live). We also heard the horror stories regarding cleaner wrasse but decided to take the chance. I hope the good eating habbit is a sign of long term survival as most of the negative stories pertain to the fact that they "only eat parasites"... IMO this is not true. Good luck with yours.

I've had mine for about a year.  He ate flake food from day 1.

mine is doing well still. It's good to get so many thumbs up.
He looks great and is eating like a champ. He is cool to catch sleeping, he
likes it under my zoa bed.
