    Hello All,

    Hendrix has been parked under his favorite "mushroom" ever since he moved in a few weeks ago. Go figure :)

    Anyways, I took a few shots of him - including one in the Purple Haze of the actinics :) Enjoy!

    he is definitely a cool critter :)

    a quick question for anyone else who visits this thread :

    I bought my leather as an "Umbrella Leather" but is it also called a toadstool leather? I think I am a bit confused on this. Any clarification would be appreciated. thanks!

    Awesome cuke! What does he eat? Is he relatively easy to care for? What kind of cuke is he?

    He is super easy to care for. He just sits there and filters the water :) When I blow the build-up off the rocks he really opens wide and stays that way all night.

    here is a link to the thread i posted the weekend I got him...Inwall75 posts some informative stuff in that thread about this species and he has a link to a cool YouTube video which shows exactly how these guys literally "lick their fingers off" to eat the stuff they catch.
