If you're referring to the typical yellow leaf fish like on my avatar then you'll find them fairly often at ocean creation. IME they are like frog fish, dificult to get on frozen, require target feeding, poor tank mate for aggressive eaters, and don't typically live very long in captivity. I currently have a little black leaf fish,not sure on the type exactly but it does much better than the yellow ones.
