Not particularly, they are a pretty common fish in the trade. I think they aren't as common because they are hard to quarantine, and new aquarists buy them because they are inexpensive but don't realize they are pod eaters and sometimes don't eat prepared food.

It took 2 months before mine started to eat prepared foods.

I've got a pretty good population of amphipods going, so hopefully that'll be a good start for one. I've always had amphipods, I can see them all at night and they jump off the live rock if I pull it out of the tank.

They also don't take shipping too well.
