Question Sea Goblin

Does anyone have any experience with a Sea Goblin? I am looking to purchase one and I want to know if it is a worth while venture...

cousins/kinda to the leaf fish, part of the scorpionoid family: venomous spines.

very VERY similar to the leaf fish, are mistaken sometimes

check out the november 2002 issue of reefkeeping (the one stickied at the top of the forum)
Henry's article on scorpionfish contains my photos of my seagoblins.

Really neat fish, they do well if you can wean them over however they stay buried in the sand and they will not compete w/ fast swimming fish for food. they are essentially lionfish who sit buried and wait for food to pass by their nose.

last point many fish are miss ID'ed as seagoblins, does the fish your interested in look like the photos?

so what specifically do you need for information?
what they eat, how often? tankmates, tank setup?
