sea goblin

i was at my lfs this past weekend and saw a sea goblin that i looked at and really liked but i was worried about getting it because it seem to be a slow eater. i have a puffer, a wrasse and a lion fish that are pretty aggerssive when it comes to eating and i dont think that they whold let the sea goblin eat. Am i right or can it be done?

The only way you could get something like that in your tank (as it is quite aggressive) is to either hand feed the sea goblin, or you could aways get a bunch of grass shrimp or similar, and put them all in your tank. If you put a bunch of live feeder shrimp in the tank I think your goblin would get one every now and then, plus the shrimp could just live in your system and wouldn't do anything but supply a little bit of extra food for your other fish. My brother has one in a 110 gallon with a Volitan, a Trigger (I am not sure what kind, he just got it) a wartskin angler, and a clown grouper. Everything in the tank gets along, as they all know that there is plenty of food to go around. He just puts 30-40 grass shrimp in the tank at a time and lets them get picked off the rock naturally and that seems to work.
 
i chould try hand feeding and grass shrimp i got my lion and my puffer hand feeding im gonna think on it for a few days. thanks for the advice.
 
yea i have the interest isaw a brownish red one and a yellow one and i looked at them for about 20mins watched the reallynice lady at my lfs drop guppies in with him and he showes interest in thm but the lion in the tank with it ate them first. are they hard to get to eat small silversides?

If you have another tank to train the sea goblin in, say 20-30g, Id get it. If not, its probably going to be more work and stress than its worth to train in a display tank with aggressive feeders. Although Im sure it would be quite possible to do with some patience.
