Thanks for the spelling check Karazy thought it didn't look right.

lol, np ;)

just a heads up, J&L just got some egg clusters in tonight.

Hey Sunce - I think baby pictures are in order!!

So how was the process of hatching the eggs? I am really curious about doing this one day. Ever since we saw some of the bigger ones while diving at the GBR a few years back, I have wanted some! How was your experience hatching them???

These were the ones we saw:

i have some dwarf cuddles in my tanks, i think there is only one per tank. they live on live food, mini shrimp and such. its really cool to see them search through the sand for food, make little blinds for hunting, and cruzing about, sometimes changing colors like crazy. if they get scared the little ink cloud is neat too. all around a great addition, better then a octopus, since he wont escape, but i think i could have done much better with them if i knew what was coming. the egg clutch was kind of dumped on me last minute. plus now the one in my sump is getting kind of big (+2") and i fear whats going to happen to the little clowns in there :mrgreen: but i haven't seen the guy in the sump in a while and the shrimp count in my sump is up so hopefully hes full already :razz: as for hatching them for me, it was easy. i hatched them at home and at the LFS i worked at, so the eggs are very hardy. my only suggestion is have lots of good foods, preferably live on hand for the hatch, and hatch them in something easy to catch them in afterward, they are incredibly hard to catch in even small tank with nothing in it.

aww, I can't see the pics (broken) maybe I'll try on another computer

In short they require expert care, cooler temperatures, higher salinity heavy duty skimmers and larger tanks without fish and most inverts except urchins and starfish.

If well kept, they live for only a year.

great article! :)
