For those of you freshies who aren't very familiar with salt, I thought I'd bring you this amazing creature for your viewing pleasure.

Theres a lfs not to far from me that had one of these. Aquatic Technologies in Columbia Station, Ohio. They are awesome to watch, but a royal pain in the behind to take care of. The owner of the store told me they are extremely sensitive and very hard to keep when I asked him why it wasn't for sale.

It eats very very small plankton.

And yes they are very hard to take care of. For ever one you see, hundreds probably died for it to get there. They are best kept in the wild and in my opinion shouldn't be in the aquarium trade. I believe they are deepwater also.


They're quite epic
