    Because you pretty much have to have a species specific tank in order to keep them. Depending on what you have in your tank, they can/will snatch & eat your fish.

    they do nice by themselves in a coral tank, fun to watch but +1 they will take out fish and all your hermits and snails eventually, they also may move some coral to close their dens at night.
