Went to a Japanese Fair and surprise there was Opae Ula for sale. He advertise no feeding, so I didnt even want to chat with him. 2 for $20 so pretty expensive and they were the cheapest set you can get. ImageImageImage

Looks like the seller doesn't understand the feeding for these guys at all, the Opaeula are exspensive over here too but not that bad compared :tongue: .

Did you see much interest in them at his stall?

I got there at the tail end but saw two empty stands so I think he sold two of these. Not sure which.

They look healthy so I think he feeds them and dumps the poor fellas in containers when it is time to sell otherwise there would be algae in there.

I certainly hope that he had more instructions than were written. You can't take an animal out of a natural habitat and give it NO care! There is no resource for it to take care of itself.

Sure, the vessels are beautiful, but don't lead people to believe that the Opae Ula are just part of a decoration. I did notice what it said about their eating habits. We can make our own beautiful and healthful habitats. Sorry, but I just think those sellers are creepy. Beautiful photos, though! Thanks. :smile:
