    I've seen one for sale here in Minnesota recently as well. I cant imagine their survival rate is good.

    Yah I think it would be a good investment to get a chainmail glove so you can put your hand in the tank. :eek:

    I was in a LFS yesterday and they had this large bubble algae shipped to them by their supplier. They put it in a Q-tank because they didn't really know what it is. 2 minutes later little cut Cuttlefish started to hatch. They were shipped like 100 cuttle fish eggs.
