LiveAquaria has a sale on these and thinking of picking up a few fish.

Do any of you have advice on keeping them other than a covered tank?

I heard they can be hard to keep because they often have internal parasites. Is that common and true?

Any feedback/experience would be appreciated.

I had a pair for a couple years. Very cool, but will all turn male eventually. They will get picked on my aggressive anthias (bartletts in my case). I lost one of mine due to it since I failed to remove the aggression.

They were picked on by the anthias?

You didn't have any issues with the two males fighting? How big was your tank?
