Such a shame, I think I stared at these guys for nearly an hour when I was at the aquarium in Seattle. They are amazing!

Pretty amazing fish. i hear theres only one in a personal aquarium in asia somewhere. At a cost of 20,000 US i can see why only aquariums have them.

:frown: So sad.

I too spent some enjoyable time watching them.

Hey EmilyB, nice pic! thanks for posting it. Very cool to see these very fasinating creatures. Hey was this pic taken in Seattle Aquarium, when there was three?

I have never seen one in person but would love to fly down to Seattle just to see this one. Call me crazy, just first time I've come across this creature. Very Cool!

Yes bw, it was taken there, Oct 03 I believe. Fantastic place to visit. :cool:

Wow!, if I could get corraline to grow like that, I wouldn't need corals, there like Corraline Caps, unless it's not corraline :confused:
