Really? I've only ever done a 15 minute session, just like a fish. Never a casualty (except the one that landed over the mantis hole).

Ya, my fish are lucky to get 30 mins, same with inverts. If I forget about them, then they might get an hour. There are some fish I will acclimate longer though, like Clowns and Tangs. They get a PraziPro bath too though. I don't even acclimate my corals unless they are real lucky.

I'm with you on that one, haven't lost one yet. Assuming healthy coral coming from a healthy tank, going into an equally healthy tank

I second the Tongan Nassarius ID. They get quite large. I have a few in my tank that I've had for years, and they will be all over something that is dead or dieing, but never over a healthy fish. They are considered to be predatory, but usually just go after things on the way out. J&L has them right now.... they are great at keeping the sandbed turned but I only recommend them in a larger tank. I can see them getting hungry in something under 30 gallons. :P
