I have a purple/yellow pipefish that has kept himself alive in my reef for 8+months. I thought he was a gonner cause I never saw him but he mostly hides in the back because the flow is too strong for him. 2 tunze 6100 anyhow he eats pods and mysis, I tried feeding him the larger variety of mysis which he ate aswell. He's about 6in long really cool fish, at night when the lights go out the tunze's are turned down and I'll find him out front. I really love the character of the fish, humble I kinda wish I could put him in the sump so he can get fed more.... Currently when the tank gets fed food doesn't get to the back that often cause all pumps and powerheads are off also the other fish are pretty fast at getting the foood but I have seen him eat and what I do now is hold a piece of mysis on a tong and he swims out from the cavern and does a head nod as he whips the food into his mouth!
