New Pipefish

[jfjt7]

I recently ordered a new Alligator pipefish (At least that's what I think it is) and it arrived earlier today. As of right now he is in my 10g QT, because even though he is a pipefish I still would not like to take any chances. He's looking really good right now and I don't see any signs of disease or any parasite, but I'm thinking at least a week or so in the QT and if he's still looking good I'll put him in my 75g reef tank with mainly slow and peaceful fish that don't compete for food. Now one thing I do wonder is will he thrive with only copepods or will I have to add some Mysis to the diet, I also have inspected my reef and see no red bugs, will this be an issue later on? Anyways I'll keep everybody updated that wants to be updated. Sorry about the bad picture, I didn't have much time.

Pipefish update #2, I decided to move him into my 75g saltwater tank because he was trying to swim into the glass in the 10 gallon, he seems much happier already in the 75g. I want to know if I can have multiple in a 75 gallon lightly stocked tank?
