Check Roy's list. These are typical small smashers.

He seems to be so cryptic I can't tell if he is eating. He seems fine and I catch a quick glimpse every now and then. I just worry bout the lil guy...Ive checked out Dr. Roys list but I was still wondering if anybody had some exp.. Dr. roy if you could help that would be great! Anybody ever keep one and know it was in their tank? Thanks ahead..

I've kept a few of them, but like many small protosquillids, they are secretive and rarely leave their cavity except to hawk macro-plankton. I actually had the best luck feeding them live adult brine shrimp (enriched with Selco). Mostly they will just sit and watch the world go buy darting out for a split second to grab some passing food.

What color is yours? Black and white?

He is a mottled green with the very distinct white bands. He has the very intresting telson spike. I have added live brine I just haven't seen him partake of the feast yet. Is it typical to see arching of the abdomen? I't doesn't look like a deformity but a natural stance at a quick glance?

P.S I'll shoot some pictures your way soon. Thanks.

Great. I'm very interested in Haptosquillids.
