  1. Cuttlefish mimicry pictured in varied detail Below articles from Reefbuilders The cuttlefish is one master of disguise using its ability to change colors as well as shifting the shape of its body to mimic its surroundings. This ability to blend in has been captured in a series of photographs by National Geographic. From mimicking 3D objects like plants and algae to shifiting its shape to blend in with two dimensional objects, the cuttlefish can really make you work to see it. In the image above, scientists uses two-dimensional patters in a controlled aquarium environment to discover the cuttlefish moving its arms in corresponding positions to the directions of the stripes helping to debunk the theory that cuttles used touch to change their configuration. The experiments conducted by the team from the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts helped showcase cuttlefish picking up visual cues to change their shapes and color to camouflage themselves into their surroundings. “Camouflage is one of the least studied subjects in biology. It would be nice if our paper encourages folks to look at this behavior more carefully in other animals,” said biologist Roger Hanlon, whose new study was published May 11 in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences. Some cuttlefish have been observed holding their camouflaged positions for up to 40 minutes in the wild and use very sophisticated and complex methods to elude captors.
  2. If can't find them on the rack, just ask from Auntie... She may keep stock in store.. Cheers..
  3. Yes...This one using air pump + water exchange.. Ya, must be careful, Some other model may just air pump without water exchange.. BTW, there is a few more series air pump + water exchange + partition.. I will take some pics if stock arrived... C328 do carry stock... Cheers..
  4. Another type 4 in 1 " External Cycle Betta Box " .. All this can find @ C328... There is still a few more.. Will get more pics.. forgot to take SD card today.. using camera internal memory, limited storage.....
  5. Alternatively, another 3 in 1 " External Cycle Breeder Box " u can try this.....
  6. Hi, Saw exactly the same breeding box @ C328 today, also other choice.. The one u looking for is ~9 gold coin.. Will post some pics tonight when free...Cheers...
  7. Blue. Squamosa. Clam. Below from reefbuilders..
  8. Jaw-dropping giant clams from Samoa appear at Extreme Corals DE See to drool.... presented by reefbuilders.. :thumbsup: This clam might be regarded as a blue squamosa but it also bears some features of a high quality blue maxima.
  9. Jaw-dropping giant clams from Samoa appear at Extreme Corals DE One more... presented by reefbuilders.. :thumbsup: This clam is mostly Tridacna squamosa but the blue speckled inner mantle is more often seen in Crocea and Maxima clams
  10. Jaw-dropping giant clams from Samoa appear at Extreme Corals DE Another clam's below presented by reefbuilders.. :thumbsup: This Samoan clam bears all the hallmarks of a Tridacna 'maxea' and it is flanked by a typical blue Tridacna maxima color morph that is often seen from Cook Islands.
  11. Jaw-dropping giant clams from Samoa appear at Extreme Corals DE below presented by reefbuilders.. :thumbsup:
  12. Below from Reeftools... Last month we reported a Bladefin Basslet being sold for $9,999. Many reader have asked if we could get them a closer look at this fish. Well, here is a beautiful video of the Bladefin Basslet,Jeboehlkia gladifer, from Blue Harbor, the famous Osaka, Japan shop. As we mentioned, this fish is found at a depth of over 500 feet, and therefore is extremely rare in the hobby. This may actually not be due to the fact that it a “rare fish” per se, but rather, due to the fact that collecting this fish is extraordinarily difficult.
  13. Try to get Y Check Valve, will have better flow rate and lesser trade off with yr flow rate compare to normal check valve... Cheers..
