the only actual negative thing is that someone threw 10 in a 40gallon and they died...

Other than not seeing them, I don't really see negatives.

I have read up a little more on them. They seem to like lower temps and there is discussion on whether they are intertidal or not. People say they only last a few months. Not worth it in my opinion.
