Anyone have one of these or know anything about them? I can't find them in any books that I have...they look pretty cool and LA has been getting them in recently.

Act (and look) a lot like a goby, but they are actually a variety of scorpionfish (meaning they are venemous). Generally not aggressive, and they stay too small to be much of a threat to other animals on the tank except for maybe some very small shrimp- or if youve got Cardinals breeding or something.

Pretty hardy; not particularly active. I like em :)

Thanks. All I was able to find were some vague references from google.

Can't find it on the link. Or anywhere else for that matter. Where is it (or was it) on the live aquaria site?

If it's not on there they must have sold it. It was in the Divers Den. Like I said before I couldn't find much from google, but if you get the daily updates from the Divers Den they'll probably have one soon.
