That's my Vote too! I have a green one like that and a few other colors in my tank. LOVE them. The key to keeping these long term is to feed them.

They are hard to keep, but very nice if you can!

Thanks for the info. It has been growing like crAzy. I have been feeding it "reef roids"

I love how it flows.

I panicked a bit when I bought my first one and started reading whatever I can find.
almost all those with experience with them say that Feeding is what has kept them alive.
Both Gold's and Denny at Concept have also said the same thing..."ya gotta feed it"

The red and green are the most hardy if my memory serves.

I feed all kinds of stuff. They like Brine shrimp and Mysis too.
