Hey all, my LFS just got a shipment with a few curious wormfish I've wanted for a long time. Right now they're around 1.5 in, buried in the sand and not eating.

Do you think I should grab 1-2 now and try to get them acclimated and feeding myself, or wait a week or so until they settle in at the LFS? Not sure if moving them again this soon would stress them too much, but I also feel like I could give them better care than the store (I have a nice observation nano tank with no other fish in there).

Would appreciate any thoughts!
