    Hehe - I found it at LFS, I live in Sydney. Apparently no one wanted it, so they kept it in refugium with shrimps and snails. Poor thing. They wanted to sell it for 15 bucks. Go or no go?

    I would pay $15 for it in a second. They are a neat fish and can be very stunning.

    I guess you are right.

    Considering it:
    1. Stays small (max 2')
    2. Cheap
    3. Unusual
    4. Coral friendly
    5. Peaceful

    Reserved!
