I talked with the guy at the Lfs and he said he's kept them with fair succes and never has special fed them
They just get by on pods bugs and detritus. And I guess also food from feeding other fish and corals

I would not if I were you you need to find out about it food needs and whether you can guarantee to meet those needs or they will starve to death.

You need to determine whether your tank provides a similar environment to the environment they were taken from.

You need to find out whether they are compatible with the fish you already have and the ones you are planning to have.

Find out about the above and wait to see what success reefwars has than talk to the wife.

Love the pipe fish! Have had min for over a year now. He only eats pods. He goes hunting with my dragonette. It's cute.

Saw some at Ocean's and controlled myself. I saw Greg's briefly when they were out and they're so neat to watch.

Based on how both my wrasses reacted to the new filefish pecking at pods I'm wondering how these would fare in my tank. Did your wrasses ever react with aggression to yours? They don't look like they'd stand up to much...
