    Looks like it. I saw a tank about a month ago in a office building that had a ton of aptasia that were about 4 to 5 inches tall and 2 to 3 inches in dia. I asked why, and the owner said he likes them, he thought they looked cool. Dunno.:-/

    Well it's in the Fuge for now. The wife thinks it's cool, so it stays for awhile. Suppose I could maybe spill some Joes Juice on it by accident?
