Certainly a "with caution".

Cassiopeia's have a pretty mild sting. They are mostly photosythetic via zooxantellae but will catch small prey like pods and such from the water. They are primarily benthic and will only leave the sand unless you really p--- them off.. so they're not really going to go hunting for anything and are not likely to cause any major damage to all but the most sensitive corals. If a fish gets eaten by one of these guys, it's evolution saying that fish was pretty retarded and not fit for life. I'd call these guys 100x more reefsafe than my mini-maxi carpet nem.

They're pretty easy to care for. As they not pelagic and tend to rest on the substrate, they don't need specialized planktonkreisels to keep them from touching the sides of the tank.

Do you have a regular turnaround for these IE Breeding? I couldn't put them in my tank yet (doing a mini cycle) but in 2 weeks I could take about 20 off your hands.

Let me know. thx

have lots of different sizes ranging from 1/4" to the size of a toonie-well over 100-shouldn't be a problem in 3 weeks

Would love to see some pics please

[monocus]

i'll take some photos and post them tomorrow

Just out of pure curiosity, can these be kept with any other tank mates that require a low flow environment?

[monocus]

took some photos-now just need to find my usb for my camera(among all the other usbs).i have them in with my firefish(2),mollies(4),bunch of mushrooms,a turbin,sun coral i'm nursing back to health,couple of hermits,and snails and a tiger cowry.in some other tanks there are some in with my neon gobies.no problems so far-been in there for 2 months after transfering them from the gobies tanks.(over 50)

I wonder if ther would go good in a tank with seahorse's & a spotted box fish. The wife, to my surprise said, she would be cool with a small tank incorporated into the kitchen when we remodel. That is what she wants in the tank.
