Ping is right, try not to startle them. I find they like larger chunks of meaty food, mysis does just fine for me although they are starting to eat henry's food and a bit of cyclopeeze. They also tend to hide in gaps between LR and sand, and usually only come out during feeding time.

Its a great jumper.

had 2 previously. and yes the 1st decided to do a bungee jump soon after introduction to the tank. the other one lasted for about 2 mths before deciding to follow suit. what a pity, beautiful fish but i told myself no way gonna keep this as they get startled very easily.
