+1 on this as well. I refuse to let my kids or wife dictate what goes in my tank. Powder Blues are very hard to keep, most of the small ones brought in by most not all LFS do not survive long, same as some Blonde Nasos. I bought one from a LFS last yr, it only lasted a few weeks because it stopped eating. I now have a Powder Blue again but it came from a fellow reefer and is a good size

for starters my wife and kids DON'T dictate as to what goes in my tank. Yes my daughter wants one but i know what can happen because I've done my research and obviously don't want my fish to die. Thanks for your reply though
