true but what ive been reading is that they dont eat fast enough to finish a red bug population so useless for it plus its hit or miss same with feeding prepared foods hit or miss.my theory is since they hunt copepods and copepods tend to grow better in lps or mixed reefs where tanks tend to be dirtier and heavy feedings that it can survive off a healthy pod population , and since they are not timid i may be able to get them on prepared.....still though no long term success anywhere that i can find.


id say go for it they are def know to be hardy it would be interesting to know how long they live for???
