Cool stuff!

 

Those pink limpets look pretty awesome

I want one of these.

 

The discussion that followed the article reminded me why I hate blogs.

Yup, that shrimp is so pretty.

 

 

Probably too small of population to be enuff supplies to all hobbyists all over the universal. We better off leave them alone in this tiny little island as the title of the blog said and admire them from Discovery channel for many years later.

 

Just a small thought pops up. Not meant to stir anything up.

The webpage said it was a "squat lobster"

[vaironman]

Even better. Population grows large enuff and we'll have a task how it goes.

Yeah this stuff really is amazing. Its sad when you think of the species we never discovered that have been killed off by pollution and the vast assortment of other human created problems.
