Some twisted Canreefer must have come in to test you.

Give it to a customer with a harlequin shrimp.

You need to find someone with a FO or FOWLR and no invert munchers (triggers, certain angels, etc.) to take it. Kuatto I don't think you want it, they're coral eaters. Littleboyblue, if you're not keeping corals you could keep it, you'll just want to be giving it some meat to eat fairly often (it won't find enough to eat on its own in a small tank). As a last resort ask AI if they have a customer who would want it. I have seen them stocking these things in the past. Personally I don't think these things should be imported at all because they don't suit too many aquariums out there.

Kuatto, he would not live long enough for the meet, if i just have him in a little floating betta house haha

Samw, I think so -shakes fist- haha

teevee they are weird starfish, i wanted a starfish, but not this one


I think what i might do is just use the 10gal to put him in, and maybe later add like seahorses or something else with him, my mom wants a fishtank up stairs, so this give her a chance to have one, and for me to try out differnt fish too

i think thats what i might do too is just set up a 10gal, and maybe just trade him sometime later for another fish

Sounds good. He should happily eat chunks of prawn or squid.

I'm no expert but my guess would be yes. Just watch your nutrient levels.
