I don't want to miss out on one of them since I have read that they bare not often available. I have never seen one in my year and a half in the hobby.

Are they very active swimmers in your experience? The articles and research I have done says different things, so to hear first hand from an actual owner is very helpful. Thanks in advance.
I used Tongs holding chunks of Shrimp, Scalop and large Krill just over the area of the tank thatthey felt safe in at first. they chomped off whatever they like then ziped back in the rock work, now they eat everything, and are trainable as mentioned, they know what the food container looks like. I saw them come out of th bag at my LFS and I took them home 4days later once they were eating. I prefer my water over that of any LFS.

Good luck, I hope you get him

Well I bit the bullet and put a deposit on one of the Sargassum triggers today. I will be bringing him home in about three weeks. I am pretty excited about it.
