Great little fish for Nano tanks. Completely Reef Safe. Will cause no harm to anything.

Do a search on wetwebmedia.com. A few people have kept them, but they're not the greatest in terms of captive care. Usually, they either survive, or they die off.

i've heard they need urchins 2 eat or something? if so i might get a blue tux urchin if i can.

Certain types of clingfish are known to live inside of urchins, not eat them. From what i'm aware though, they don't need them indefinitely to survive.

- I Didn't know the juveniles ate the tube feet in cases, let alone the pedicellariae (small pincher like structures that clean off echinoderms).

There have been a lot of debate about those little guys on the forums. As flamingo says eariler they either are extremely happy or die shortly after getting them. There was once a group that was trying to convice liveaquria to put the fish as a difficult fish to keep. That never happened. I wanted one, but opted not after reading how hard they can be to keep. If you do get one, keep us posted on how it does. Very neat fish!
