    Good eye, but nope. I checked this morning and it's just a piece of epoxy.

    yup def new head, i belive its dividing the flesh between the two heads at this stage. ive had 3 heads that just split into 6, they start to look kinda shotty till they are done splitting,and they may lose some tentacles in the process. mine have been splitting for like 5 months non stop, cant wait till its completely done and finaly reopens to its full size. has fully developed the mouths and its skeleton just divided into two, so shouldnt be much longer. you proly got a lil while befor it fully developes.

    Actually Aqua if I am not mistaken those are made out of Marzipan (I am sure its not spelt wright, LOL) which is a type of candy. I have seen that photo before or one just like it.


    Edit: Okay I stand corrected, not marzipan (it is correct) but Silicone, Resin and clay, check these out Miniature Babies

    I thought it was, but I'm a noob and didn't want to say anything. Looks like one to me.
