What do you do when they hatch? How do you raise them and what are the tank requirements?

I am interested in one of these as well. What species are they?

I would be interested as well but have a question. Are they reef safe or not? What are their food requirements and tank size recommendations?

I would reccommend everyone go to tonmo.org and read up on cuttlefish. Depending on the species you will need at least a 30 gallon tank maybe 100+ gallons. You will also need it to be basically a species tank as they will eat anything as even close to their size. You will also need to wean them onto dead food because as babies they will need live food. If you want to know how I know all this. I received 3 cuttlefish eggs, and they all ended up disappearing, apparently my pistol shrimp ate them.
