sea spiders

last night we found two of these on a new zoa frag that we picked up. we have them in a bag and were wondering if there is any interest in these. is anyone studying them that would like them? these are the small ones pictured on reefcentrals id page. we would prefer to give them to someone interested in them other than flushing them. let me know if you are interested.

thats the one. i had seen them before in the pics so i knew when i saw them what they were. i was more or less trying to see if someone wanted them. i know some people like wierd creatures or i thought someone might be studying them and want some more.

they are ugly little things. i would like to keep them but it would require a tiny tank and some sacrificial polyps. the ones we have look just like that, nastier in person when you see them move. do they only eat zoas?
