AquaticEngineer Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 After all these years I was finally able to get ahold of a 3" juvenile Sarcastic Fringehead!I completely re did my Micro Reefs 7.2 temperate AIO to mimic the environment seen the the BBC Life segment about the Sarcastic Fringehead. Theres a dozen or so CA brittle stars, a couple algae covered rocks, and I even got the same species of snail shell for his home as seen in the video For those of you who haven't seen the above mentioned video take a second and watch this: I'll get my vids and pics posted soon (would love to upload direct from my mobile but it doesn't seem to let me)Until then, enjoy the video **Edited to add pics which I should have had in the initial post, please excuse my laziness Link to comment

AquaticEngineer Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 I collect and sell temperate marine animals, so I'm in contact with a lot of other collectors as well. This little guy came from a marine species collector in California. I've got 3 species of fringeheads from them so far: Yellowfin Fringehead, Onespot Fringehead, and the Sarcastic Fringehead. When we have them available you can get them at www.Coldwatermarineaquatics.com Link to comment
AquaticEngineer Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 The Sarcastic Fringehead got evicted by a brittle star who is now squatting in his old home, luckily construction on his duplex was finished quickly. Link to comment
