I understand they are very interesting creatures, the colour changing is awsome, but for something that only lives 6 months it seems odd. And mantis shrimp are just cool.

Ah, there's the problem....their life span ranges from double to triple of what you thought it was.

so sence an anemone can live from 50 to 100 years and we normaly kill them in 2 or 3 I think the cuttlefish has a way better ratio in our care.

But ive seen lots of anemones in peoples care but ive never seen anyone with a cuttlefish, its like and octopus or a jellyfish they require special care, most of the cuttlefish that you see in LFS are cool water ones but how many people have a cool water tank?

The fact that you have never seen one, and that they are starting show more regularly now, doesn't mean that people shouldn't keep them. The hobby has to evolve, and that has to happen by people participating.

Now, if you were thinking that I was going to take one and toss it in a goldfish bowl, then you'd be right to worry about the cuttlefish.

You'd also be wrong to assume that I haven't done a lot of research on them.

Just because a Fish store brings something in doesnt mean its ok to keep them, there are alot of stuff that comes in the shouldnt have ever left the ocean.
