Why is it that so many of us want some of the most difficult fish and inverts in the hobby when there are countless other options just as beautiful and interesting? I'm talking about inverts like Linckias, some sponges, certain fish with very specialized diets. I don't know about others but for me, part of it's the enjoyment of the challenge of caring for them. Personally I seek out all the research I can find and combine it with novel ideas I develop on my own. I would absolutely love to discover a way to keep some of these creatures not just to say I have one when nobody else does, but because of the personal satisfaction of being able to enjoy it as a part of my mini ecosystem I work so hard to maintain. I've also been captivated by not only traditional marine biology but other more specific marine study disciplines as long as I can remember. Right now I'm considering an electric orange Linckia...can post pics if you want...
Would love to talk more about this with some of you guys who have felt the same thing.
Btw, regarding my Fromia indica, I'm experimenting with feeding him encrusting sponges adhered to rocks native to where he's naturally found and very closely observing how he interacts with not only it but the rock itself...for those of you who were interested in my previous thread I haven't forgotten about you but it's a very complex organism we're dealing with here and I'm trying to put together a write up about it so please be patient.
