Sorry I hadn't had a chance to write for a few days. You are right, I ordered 4, but I found someone that wanted to keep them in an isolation tank, but only wanted 2, so I kept the other 2 and I think there is just one of them left. We found it while cropping the algae out of the sump. I had read that they eat mysis in the wild, and my sump is full of them. There are also copepods in there too, but they are a lot bigger than the mysis, so I don't know what it is eating, but it is alive and healthy. And yes, it is only about an inch long. I do not know how to post pictures, and he is not always easy to find because he hangs in the macro algae which is pretty thick, so sorry I can't send a pic. I did not post this to suggest anyone else try this, just to let those of you know that said that there was no way one could survive in a sump, that one of my two did. That's all. I was just excited to see that he'd made it all this time! Thanks for the info.
