How big is your aquarium? They are good as sandsifters..but be warned...they are a pain!

I had 2 in a 14g

They can and will try to steal food from your coral...and piss it off :/

I heard, from the article above, a while ago, that they arent adapted for use in aquaria (difference in temp.) and that they bring parasites by the truckload. Oh, and those that come to the beach areas where they are collected have parasites and/or have diseases that will and can spread to live stock. just buy some margaritas or turbos.....
