i used to call him a lobo but then he fell on my lobo and tore him up. i am locking him down with epoxy tonight as he is too dangerous.

hey Chip,

I like the picture in yo0ur avatar.

Do you have a name for it?

It's called Acan Lord. :D
 
Can I play too please? I got "1" good shot with my camra and I was aiming at something else when I took this...go figure! My one and only macro I will probably ever take!

ouch.
 
lfs. i think mschriskim has one just like it. to this point it has no id that i have heard of. it is a monster and has stung anything that gets close to it. it lays this slime down that kills almost instantly.
 
That's what I thought (Joleen?) I think there were 3 of those total, I'm working on getting a piece :)
 
marillion: ha very funny and let me say not a chance...lol. it has trashed several corals and i still like it.

joe18: hmmm....they are about the size of a half dollar coin. twice that when fully swollen.
