They are not an easy fish to keep. i hope you havent bought this fish yet. This is one fish that many recommend leaving in the sea. they are hard to keep alive as they have a very high metabolism and need very frequent feedings. some are very hard to get to eat.

+1 I agree with hodge. I had no success with twin spot. Tried twice. LFS always seems to carry them to. Shame cause I really like those fish.

Very difficult.
I have one in a 93 cube with a sand bed. It constantly feeds. |

That's sad. My LFS, who knows my tank and i believe is honest and does the right thing, said to keep trying to feed him mysis after I told him he wouldn't eat. I will keep trying.
Any tips on feeding him? He is currently in a ten gallon quarantine with a power head. I turn the power head off and blow a bunch ton of reef frenzy soaked in garlic. I haven't seen him go for it but I leave the food floating/on the floor for about 20 min with the power head off.

Adding garlic can sometimes make picky fishes eat food. Ive seen them being effective in various post such as feeding mandarins and moorish idols.
