    I believe they are crazy toxic, comment I read on the other forum was "those are cool. too bad they are very poisonous. probably do more damage than paly stew."

    Those are very cool and beautiful but kinda hurt the mind looking at it. Doesn't look "real", more like something out J.R.R. Tolkens mind. Thanks for sharing that video!

    This is a creature I would set up a species tank for, regardless, since I wouldn't leave a single rock face where it couldn't be seen ;D

    Absolutely gorgeous and mind blowing coloration, it would be so cool to have a couple in a species tank.

    wikipedia says they prey on man-of-war and other poisonous jellyfish... then store their stinging cells so they are VERY VERY poisonous
