I'm guessing this thing would not be reef safe:

Whoa.
That thing in a reef would be hawt

that thing would die cause it is used to a different pressure than what we could ever offfer it and the light would destroy it caue it is probably used to total darkness.

At 7500 ft., this little guy has never seen a coral reef, so he wouldn't know they were edible. Just buy him some mini-sunglasses and I think you'd have a winner.

Hmmm..I wonder if crustaceans are affected by pressure the same way we are... :thinking:
Maybe we could bring it up verrrryyyyyy slowly...
Either way that is awesome! need more info though...

Awesome looking fella ........ Im not sure that the pressure situation would hurt him , he is alive as it stands now , also they say it is blind so i doubt light would affect it also
