Well no worries, they aren't really spiders :D Look like them but different. I don't know if people try to keep them though now and then some ugly one's will turn up as hitch hikers. With such a specific diet, they could prove hard to feed. :yes:

I have read the eat anenomes, corals and the like. So I doubt after doing research anyone would want one. I have however read there is an algae eating species, but that is all I have found out.

The only good thing I can say is I like the "colors". They are pretty picky eaters huh.
Thank goodness, I showed my hubby the pic last night he said "see now thats what I would like to see in a tank. Why can't we get one of those?" First I asked him if he was crazy? Then I told him it would be nearly impossible to keep with there specific diet, and then I mentioned I would have nightmares. He laughed at me!! what support!!

I have been actually researching these alot. lol I have found out their diet isn't as picky as previously thought, but they are absolutely not reef safe. Also the ones most likely found by divers aren't as colorful or as big. The pretty ones live deeper in the ocean and can get up to 90 cm in diameter.
