They are awesome looking. I fear they won't do well in aquariums. Right or wrong, I decided to bring the one home...I think it will probably die, but, I think that fate was sealed the moment it was collected for the hobby. My tank has lots of "life" in it, so we'll see.

I had one for a very short time, it came on on some live rock, had no idea what it was... I was sad when it dissapeared.

They pretty much all die, I wish they weren't collected. Stores should be more responsible in not bringing these in, It's Supply and demand but i would guess 99% of them die.

I agree with Eric, they never survive and yes, they are toxic.

I would have to say it is the responsibility of the store to not sell things like that just for money, This is pretty irresponsible you will never see these for sell in our store.

I agree, we should not buy animals that we cannot support. This is one reason I ask everyone who comes to get stuff from me about there setup. All too often I have told people they could not buy a coral or fish from me because their tank was not ready or their lighting was not build to sustain the livestock.
PS. I love the fact that Eric agrees with himself. ;) lol
"If noone else agrees with me, at least I do!!"

Does anyone have a link to a pic? I haven't ever seen one of these and just did a search with no luck. Sounds nice though...
