Tekkno you are right about the different species of coral/invert/fish that we do not know how to take care of them. I had a buddy who owned a store and he told me that it took him like 4 or 5 ribbon eels before he got one to eat and live. And then he was selling the eel for like 500% profit. There are stores out there that are just trying to make money. And they will sell you a shark for your 180 and a linkia for your brand new 29. These are the same stores selling carnation corals and moorish idols. But in all of these conversations I have never heard any discussion of the harlequin shrimp. Nor have I ever seen harlequin shrimp food in the freezer or a tank at a LFS listed as Harlequin Shrimp food.

But then again people feed their snakes mice and rats.
