prickles

I have heard 1 year is about it for them several times. Who has/had an older one, what type? Is the 1 year correct?

thanks!
 
We kept D. janssi in a mixed softy reef for a good 3 years before losing it in a tank crash after a move.

Pipes have similar lifespans as SH...typically 3-5 years. Dwarf pugnose pipes may have shorter lifespans, but I've never kept them.
