Anyone ever heard of one of these, aka Gnathophyllum americanum? This is where I found it

I have heard of them and they are very cool looking, unfortunately for me my Flame Hawk would make quick work of them.

I've never heard of them but a very interesting shrimp!

It doesn't say if it's reef save or not It sure is tiny. If you get one Tarasco, keep us updated on how it does!!

I have had them and am dieing to get more. My lfs was supposed to get them on monday but I didnt get a chance to see. I want 5 of them.

I had two and they died when my heater broke. They are one of the most beautiful shrimp I have layed eyes on. I have never witnessed them touch or bother anything. Just neat little fellers =). A very nice reef tnak addition! I hear they only live for a year however =(.

I had many cool pics of them, but it seems I may have accidentally deleted the album with them =(.
