Finger dragonette

[Belle73]

I bought a finger dragonette yesterday, and I wanted to get more info on it online. But I had no luck. Can anyone provide fun facts on this beautiful creature? Any info actually.
I wish I could upload a pic

Do you have a very large and mature tank with an insane amount of pods and live food?

Here's more info. http://m.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+1635+1722&pcatid=1722
If you really have just a 3 month old 30 gallon tank, this isn't the fish for you.

Had never heard of that one. Looks like a bigger/hungrier/more challenging version of a scooter blenny.

Here's the fishbase page: http://www.fishbase.org/summary/8240

I'm pretty convinced these should not be sold unless their dietary habits are far, far more forgiving then other dragonets. If these won't eat pellet or mysis, it's not going to live, and very likely it's going to need over a hundred gallon tank.

Take it back to the store and next time research BEFORE you purchase..
That fish is not for you..

We had a finger dragonette come in once as a baby, mistakenly labeled as a scooter blenny. Even as a baby, this thing would've been a MONSTER scooter.
We kept it in a 300 gallon rock pool, and it seemed happy enough until it was about 6" long. At that point, it was starving in a massive system. It couldn't forage enough among the rocks to sustain itself. We tried switching it onto something prepared, but it wasn't having any of that. Thankfully, the aquarium at the zoo had a stingray tank tied into their reefs, and the 8' diameter ring of sand kept the finger dragonette happy for another 5 years beyond what we could.
