I was kind of kidding, but why not...

The first one I bought lived for about a week, and vanished. I never
saw anything that indicated that it even died. My tank at that time had
quite a bit of algae, so I was quite surprised to lose it. It never did
turn up whatsoever. Maybe my dog ate it. LOL

The second one is still with me to this day. It came with my 280g reef.
It was in a tank with all kinds of livestock and even an eel, and
even with the tank being negleted for months, the fish was happy and
healthy.

It has been with me for about 10 or 11 months now, and perches
everywhere in my tank. I've watched it perch on top of a mandarin
repeatedly, so that the fish just had to wait for it to swim away. My
Powder Blue Tang loves to chase it across the tank.

It eats nori, and any other food I drop in the tank. And it also will
eat sponge (I bought a gorgeous orange tree sponge, but it didn't last
more than a couple of months) and will take bites on rocks, corals, and
the glass.

For a couple of weeks I didn't clean the glass of my tank, and you could
see his lip marks all over the place. It was kind of funny. Since I
cleaned the glass again, he's moved on to the back wall of the tank.
