    That's o.k. It took her almost two months to catch the last one and when I decide she needs another I'll just take an 8 head piece of Xenia to the LFS and make a trade. :) Thanks again for everything!

    excuse the dirty glass, it is a qt after all, get over it! :) cool fish if you ever get the chance to get one, but they come with a lot of parasites and infestations, definitely need some TLC before they are ready to go from the ocean to the display. Very personable and smart, they are very friendly to their keepers. Especially if you bring them live Venus Clams and hermits to bully and crabs and grass shrimp to eat.

    They are definitely cool. You have to see them in action though, when I drop in a clam or something he gets all mad looking backs up to build up speed and then rams them and chomps on them. They all live until he catches them open by luck, too young yet to bite through.
