Love those guys. Had an octopus once that hid all the time. Would love to try a cuttlefish some time in the future. Cool buddy. Good luck with it.

I was in Safeway one day and overheard the PA talking about a delicasy (sp?) dish they were selling that had cuttlefish in it. Just another reason I don't eat seafood!

Yup, it's a cuttlefish.

Right now, he's on amphipods, ghost shrimp and... gorilla crabs, haha.

I've got 15 camel shrimp coming in to live with him this Friday. I tried dropping in a monkey shrimp (Saron) but it was too big. Hopefully, the camels will prove a bit less trouble to work with then the ghost shrimp (3 hours of acclimating is such a pain).

I didn't notice the size at first.

Wow.

Good luck with it! What's its natural expected lifespan?
