And yet still a fair number of ppl in this thread (considering how many have posted) have posted good things about the ones they keep... So what's to say that its not a bad idea to have one in a tank, because they obviously can survive from what ppl seem to be saying.
We might as well get into the topic of Harlequin shrimp.. they are doomed to die unless you start harvesting star fish for food.
