Anyone ever had one of these? I read a few dated articles online that talk about their difficulty due to them living in high energy surge zones, but nothing recent. My LFS has some that they recently harvested from a nearby location so at least the specimens are in great shape (at the moment anyway).
I have a well established 75 gallon tank with a 40 gallon refugium/sump. The tank has Vortech pumps, AI Hydra lighting, and I only use NSW that comes from within a few miles of their natural habitat. Unfortunately, I don't want to turn my tank into a wave/whirlpool simulator to keep this species alive which may be a requirement? (currently run in Reef Crest or Lagoon mode)
The store that sells them is known for being pretty responsible so I am not sure that they would harvest something that is doomed in home aquariums (unlike some of their competitors).
Interested in hearing experiences on this one.
