I was just curious if anyone keeps these as a hobby. I know most if not everyone fights them off, but the colors are so amazing...someone has to be a collector on here.

Someone posted this previously...great pics sponsored by National Geographic:

Did you kill him? I'm assuming he was a pest and you had zoas...?

Did you have him long?

Some places that sell them. Seems they are hard to keep alive...though I suspect some people with rare or expensive zoas could say they wish that statement was true.

when i switched from my 29 gallon to my 55 he died alittle after! he didnt eat any of my corals all he ate was tunicates. i had for a few months then i did the tank change. i absolutely loved him though and would consider getting another!!
