Just so you know, the alligator pipefish is a temperate species. They need to be kept cooler than your average reef (no more than 74 F) or they will be at increased susceptibility to disease. Also, since they are a hitching pipe, they are susceptible to stinging corals.

Best of luck, they are very delicate creatures.
