Cuttlefish anyone?

I would be interested as well but have a question. Are they reef safe or not? What are their food requirements and tank size recommendations?

I would reccommend everyone go to tonmo.org and read up on cuttlefish. Depending on the species you will need at least a 30 gallon tank maybe 100+ gallons. You will also need it to be basically a species tank as they will eat anything as even close to their size. You will also need to wean them onto dead food because as babies they will need live food. If you want to know how I know all this. I received 3 cuttlefish eggs, and they all ended up disappearing, apparently my pistol shrimp ate them.

They are Sepia bandensis(dwarf cuttles).I would also suggest Tonmo.org for those interested in the captive care of these beasties.
They require small live foods for their first few meals and they are very sensitive to metals in the water so RO/DI water is a must.

Wow, I have always wanted to try these but right now its just not feasible for me. Maybe in the near future. Such fascinating creatures, but definitely require a specialized setup.

Damn, I'd love to try them!

I had just put the eggs in the net breeder in the bio-cube and one of the three hatched revealing twins after one hour. They sure are cute little guys. Thanx Teejay
