    Here's a picture just after dipping yesterday. The mouths are a little gaped, and there is a little skeleton showing in the back. If that doesn't start to heal over in the next couple of days, I'll dip it again. In the meantime, I'll feed it very small amounts every day to help it out.

    Agreed. Haven't really seen a green one yet. Only red and red/green ones. I've read they are more rare in the aquarium trade.

    Here is a blurry/blue picture of the new guy eating tonight. Looks like there may be another small head on the left. Ate very well.

    Acan echinata is the one you're thinking of John. And yes, echinata are angry, mean little buggers.

    Just a quick update, the new heads have grown quite a bit, and there are a few more new ones hidden somewhere in there. Grown under cheap LED's. :p
