Flounder and Brotulina primer ??

[FWC]

I'm thinking of adding these guys to my tank. However I have a few questions before hand.

Are they coral safe ??

Are they fine with shrimp/crabs ??

How hard are they to get feeding ?? and feeding on what ??

First hand experience is always nice

i had a flounder once in a shallow tank. real aggressive and will eat anything that will fit in its mouth. cool fish that i wouldnt mind owning again. All you see is eyeballs and its pretty boring other than feeding time. by the way mine ate frozen silversides later but live bait fish sold at the docks did the trick.

Brotulas tend to be very cryptic, and once added to a reef system my never be seen again. They are neat fish with some very interesting behaviors, but being able to view them can be difficult.

Flounders are some of my favorite fish. They canbe quite colorful and have the ability to change color very quickly. They are totally coral safe but will eat any mobile invertebrate they can fit in their mouths. Small fish are in danger of being eaten by flounders as well.
Do your research on the species that you acquire, as some can get quite large.

Thanks

I think I'll shy away from the flounder ,however assuming I get the Brotulina ,what could I expect in terms of feeding it ?? Any chance of getting it onto a prepared diet ??
