I see that. Try again, it's fixed.

Are any of these oddballs actually successfully kept in hobbyists' tanks? I'd love to have a Sea Dragon or a Flamingo tongued Snail! They are pretty!

The crazy looking Umbrella thingy Eel would be very cool! What a conversation piece ..heh? LOL


Thanks for sharing!

I like the Flamingo snail, gorgeous. Weird that it puts it's "meat" on the outside of the shell, seems to kind of negate the point of having a shell. Sure, it can pull it back in, but what if it gets attacked fast?

 

[Pufferpunk]

That's what gives them their beautiful markings/disguise. They can pull it in REALLY FAST!

awesome critters, all of which shall be left where they are:

seeing the dragons in person diving, can truly say one of natures finest designs!!

I'm so jealous, you get to dive in Ausie anytime you want!
