    I have seen them before. They come in on macro as hitchers, eat quite a bit for their size. I think I have a few in my oddball hitcher tank. Never tried them on byropsis. Would be cool to see.

    I thought finding one would be the main problem. Im going to PM Don, he may know a little more about this and if it all were they could be found.
