Whoa, who said anything about disposable? The "male" comment was poking fun at Naesco, who always says "her." Steve called his fish "guy" severable times... haha, funny? Guess not...

I don't think there's much more a person can do than grow out a whole tank of SPS for a single fish. Seems like he put plenty of thought into this - to accuse him otherwise is petty. He's doing his best, as we all do.

Yes that makes him a serious fish hugger.

Good job, and good luck. And thanks for posting - takes some serious balls around here.

Or none at all

Well, if someone asked me about these fish, I'd say don't try it unless you're willing to grow a tank full of SPS to feed it. He has, so let's give it a shot. If damage is minimal to SPS, then we may find we CAN keep these fish long term in large SPS tanks. This is how we learned to keep what we can now. He's made an informed decision and believes he can provide the food, so great!
I'm anxious to see the results.

I have to agree with this. He bought this fish knowing that it would eat his sps. It looks like he has provided enough sps for the fish to eat with hopes that the sps corals will withstand the damage done to them. I believe that is what he meant when he said he was planning for the best.
