I can only imagine if someone actually hugged it. Are you sure thats not some kind of under water rattle snake. It sure seems to be acting like one, sharkboy good luck huggin that thing.

Why dont they? The lady that i asked to get him out wouldnt, she had me net him and then we had to wait till sime one came to bag it. She was a bit scared.

Acclimation seemed to go well he has found a home and is acting more normal today. The urchin is doing well too.

The lfs here in Lima has maybe a 100 gallon system total and the tanks are all tiny cubes. I have to go way out of town to get anything.

Wow that is small but this guy was in a 10g. You could always order one through them and pick it up right when it comes in :thinking:

agreed with that above statement.... guy i talke to at an lfs thought handfeeding a yellowheaded moray was fun until it got hold of him....lets say he is a bit more keen on the idea of using a feedstick permanently...

Ohhh, it's not so bad.
Who do you know, that would willingly hand feed a Hawaiian Dragon?

Be careful, use common sense and you'll do just fine.
