Any opinions from those who have had these? or tried? Currently have had long term?

Yeah, that's the problem.... I know the horror stories of "when" they die..... I'm trying to figure out their propensity to die..... like Blue-Linkia-esque, or just an "If it happens it sucks, but a stable tank will keep them happy for years" type of thing....

They should remain in the ocean than captivity. Theyre beautiful, No Doubt. I Know of only one person that kept it going more several months.-
