I either put clams, mysis or brine in it. All it is, is a little clear container with a few 1/4" holes drilled it in


Then a piece of styrofoam that I put a impression of the dish into. So it will float

Genius! I'm hitting up my local 99 cent store tomorrow! 1 more question for you, would you consider ok a small divided tank adequate for him for a pair of weeks for qt / observation / feed training? Or do you think he'd stress from the small space and just not even bother eating?

Not all are reef safe. It's 50/ 50. Yes they tend to eat aiptasia but again 50/50. I don't feel they are worth the hassle. They very rarely survive in our tanks and you should have a lot of aiptasia before ever thinking of getting one of these fish.
