I got him at seaumarine.

Wow those darker shots are too cool. Too bad you can't have the lights on and still get to see him.

I think in time he will come out more. I am hoping he's only around 5-6 months old, but I guess he could be closer to a year.

I believe his natural lifespan is about 18 months. Cephs just don't live very long..

Here is another video I shot today. I just have a cheapo camcorder that doesn't do well in low light.

It's cool to watch him just slide under the live rock, despite the fact he is noticeably full of fidder crabs
