Anyone know of a LFS that carries these?

I saw a couple at Tropical Paradise before the BAR meeting last weekend.

Best of luck with the Cocos--they are pretty tough to keep alive.

Really? I've read mixed reviews, some say super easy and others impossible. What's the price range on these things anyway? I might change my mind if they're spendy

I also saw some at Aquatic Gallery a few days ago. I've also heard that they are hard to keep because of the amount of filtering foods that they need to survive. I've seen them for about $40-60

All I can add is I have two in my tank. I never do anything specifically for them. They are almost always out and look spectacular (OK, pretty nice). They are in a 180 reef with lots of water movement. Great addition!!

They have them at atlantis in fremont as well ... not sure how much they are though.

If you kill it, remember this, they can live for like 20+ years in the wild (where they really should stay). IMO I would get some nice purple feather dusters, they have nearly the same look, and with an addition of Phyto, they are pretty hardy!
