Rare Fish pic From Rare Fish series

[Albel]

some expensive fish, went for $1500.00 each on Live-aquaria

They are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Splendid of work of art sculpted by evolution!
But are they still alive? They look so delicate they must so hard to keep!
One last question ... is this legal?

assuming you're talking about rhinopias sp. frondosa, and eschmeyeri, they're both legal, and fairly easy to keep alive. they shed their skin every few days, and thus not prone to some marine parasites.

they wave back and forth in the current, mimicking leafs, and sponges in the wild. and have a wide range of colors, purple, red, orange, brown. and yes, they're legal, just expensive.
