I dont have any small fish, crabs or shrimp but would one eat my clams and 3 snails? How about abalone?

leafy dragons are only available to public aquariums and research facilities; mostly if not exclusively captive bred specimens. not for sale to us incompetents they also come with a price tag of about 10K a piece.

I almost forgot about Rhinopias frondosa the weedy scorpionfish... $500 at J&L right now. Cool fish that I have rarely ever seen. I know someone on here has one but thats just too expensive for me.

Mine would be a Moordish Idle - don't want to attempt to keep such beauty if I know the chances of it staying alive are very slim, IMO better left alone in the wild or to someone that can keep it.

And the other a coral beauty - for some reason I have NEVER had luck at keeping this beautiful fish, every one i have bought has died. I have tried about 5x and said to heck with it. No more coral beauties for me. lol.
