    Purchased one from the LFS, sorry don't have any pics up atm. get to it eventually. But was wondering if anyone had heard of this before. It so far as done pretty well been in my tank about 1 1/2 months. I cant find anything on it online. never seen anyone else with one. Kind of looks like a flame scallop. it's just completely brown and its "tentacles" really make it look like an anemone. Even the dealer at the LFS said he had not seen them before. OF course all of this said and done, not knowing what it was or how to take care of it and still purchasing it wasnt smart. it's turned out to be one great purchase!

    Aussie scuba sites describe dancing scallops that jump up into the current to collect food - does yours jump?
