    Love these things but curious what care they require like feeding, light and what fish they can be compatible with. Water parameters etc.? Just want to be educated before I get one. Whats your personal experience with yours?

    Usually 1 can be kept per tank, depending on the size of the tank and feedings. Dosing phytoplankton on a regular basis is recommended. I dose Marine Snow every 2-3 days. They dont need lighting, in fact, they will hide sometimes somewhere you wont be able to see it, depending on your aquascape. If you lived in Miami, I could tell you where to go and get them for free.

    I would not recommend for anyone except the most advanced keeper. Extremely hard to keep alive over time.

    Very cool creature though.
