I read that they eat coral polyps in the wild. It didn't say what types though.

Yea, I read that also Mike.  I asked the same on RC and half gotten both good and notsogood  experiences.  Its always a crapshoot with trying a new family of fish.  I guess if it doesnt work out, I can always trap it.

I talked to Shawn tonight about this fish.  He was going to research it. But I'm sure I will get the same answer.  (Its hit and miss)  Each fish has its own personality and likes and dislikes.  They are a deepwater fish found in an area around the Marquesen Island.  Usually feeds on algea and coral polyps, but what I have been hearing, not to the extent of harming the sps.  I'm just worried about my zoos and lps.
