Caring for WC Pipes...
At the LFS I work at we got in some macro algae today (Caulerpa Prolifera) and hidden in it were some small pipefish. So far we've found seven, the biggest is about 6" and the smallest about 1 1/2". Some are black, grey, and green. I gave them some live brine, but only one ate and one other looked "interested". Anything else I can do to keep them alive?

I assume that was adult brine they turned their noses up at? Try newly hatched brine shrimp. Rotifers and copepods will work too, but bbs is probably easier to maintain until you're willing to commit to bigger cultures.

Some of the bigger ones ate some frozen Hikari mysis today.
 I'll try to get some pictures tomorrow. I'll try to get some bbs.

Here are a few of the (better) pictures of the darker ones. I highlighted them in the third picture.
