It’s not toxic, kinda like squid ink.

I know but if you’re not home to take care of it it can surely screw up your tank.

Lies! I guess similar to a sea cucumber?

Here's the sea rhino. Of course he's in a corner with coraline and sponges covering the glass, but you can tell how big he is!

That's about a 2" rhodactis and a full size large Mexican turbo in the back for reference

John does it eat bubble algae ?

Or I could give the Chippendales a call and see if they would take me back. That’s how I paid for undergraduate school?

Don't you mean Chip and Dale?

Update!! @kevgib67

So I finally made it home, and my goodness what a creature!

Im amazed by how quickly he moves. This guys went to work immediately and is kicking some serious GHA butt. Ill get some more pictures Kevin, but he's WAY down in the rocks eating (not hiding). Amy did an outstanding job and took off part of the day to care for and acclimate him.

Also, saltyunderground did an excellent job on shipping and packaging!

Kevin thank you my friend for this. I see a friend here just trying to save another friend's tank. That is fitting though, because our PMs 2 and a half years ago are what gave me the encouragement to try the hobby, and reef the way I do. That's why I call you The Podfather!

Have you thought about getting a fountain pen and having Bev draw you nice Blenny pictures with the ink?

@tharbin Tom, here's one I dont remember hearing before. I thought they were very talented, and probably went to a big music school. So many bands went and got classically trained just to throw it all behind a hammond organ and an electric guitar, and sing about other dimensions.

Thank goodness!

It's super psych and funky. This is the perfect time of day for it.

I've never heard them either. Not bad.

That can be true of a lot of things CB!

Im not sure.
It was sucking on a bumblebee snail earlier like it was a Jolly Rancher, so maybe?

It's still fun to find a new one every now and that. It's cool for a 60 year old song to get a fresh listen

There were a lot of egos with different stylistic leaning back in the mid to late 60s and early 70s so a lot of really good bands formed, blew out some monster music, burned out and dissolved in only a year or two during that period. Also had a lot of burned-to-the-ground stars that just couldn't stay the game long enough.
