I want a pipefish but heard they are hard to keep. He looks cool hope he does well
and I'm sure the zoas will be fine.

How neat is that, Scott! I haven't known of anybody keeping a pipefish. I hope you have success with it.

Well, the store had it marked as an Alligator Pipefish

, but I am pretty sure it is the Dragonface Pipefish.

One of the guys in our local club is successful with them. His water is clean and he's mostly SPS. He has tons of flow, but his two hang out on the rocks and clean his SPS. I'll let you know.
I also picked up another 5 polyps of some other Zoa that wasn't really open, but for 20% of $7....I figured I would take a chance.

Pipefish have similar needs as seahorses as I recall

Oh, sorry Regi, I didn't see your question. The pipefish is for the big tank for right now. I thought about the Nano, but it isn't quite ready for fish. I believe the Zoas will find there way in there (if not now, after a fragging).
