It was a picky eater at first, but luckily I leave my QT running at all times and it has a healthy population of copepods, amphipods and mysis shrimp, which the Potter's devoured.

My experiences with store bought potters have been similar. They just get beat up, and get kept in totally innappropriate holding tanks, and can't take it.
I've bought one from a really good 'online' place, and bought one locally from another reefer, and both have been remarkably healthy, and easy to care for.
So my oppinion? Hardy, but not generally collected and shipped properly. Kind of like leopard wrasses.
