    If your suggesting we shouldn't feel sorry for the stomatopod because we have all killed aiptasias, you should consider how complex the organism is. Bacteria is alive as well, but no one weeps when they wash their hands.

    He was out on a ledge under another ledge, I was able to come down and snip but no way with a net.
