Bongo Shrimp Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Just got my new gumdrop coral croucher pair! Hope I don't get stung. I have already red multiple things on RC and other articles about them. Anyone currently have one that wants to share their experience with them? Not in the tank yet: In the tank, trying to hide: Link to comment
LebaneseDlight Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 ooooh, I saw those on liveaquaria. so cute! Probably my next addition (trying to resist adding any more fish, but they are sooo small.... ) Link to comment

animalmaster6 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 how venomous? and do they have spines or what? They have a venomous bite. It hurts a little more than a bee. Link to comment
Bongo Shrimp Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 They have a venomous bite. It hurts a little more than a bee. Sorry, but they have a venomous spine. Just like other scorpion fish. The sting is like a bee though. The shipping was $35 from Liveaquaria. Just check for your self on LA each day to see if they have any more. They are on divers den every so often. Link to comment

davyraddy Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 They have a venomous bite. It hurts a little more than a bee. i believe their dorsal spines are venomous; they're related to scorpionfish. Supposedly similar in form and behavior to clown gobies, thus the flattened bodies. Their fuzziness is too cool! Link to comment
evanj Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Those are pretty cool, they look like they have a goofy personality. Link to comment
Bongo Shrimp Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Those are pretty cool, they look like they have a goofy personality. They kinda do have funny personalities. When you put your head close up to look at them, they just tilt their heads up a little and move their eyes up to see you. Then they go back to whatever they were doing. They also walk with their fins and when they swim, they sorta have a wiggly swim. Oh and when they are sitting and not moving, their tails curl up. Link to comment
lakshwadeep Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 They look like tiny anglers. Link to comment

Bongo Shrimp Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 They look like tiny anglers. Well they are close cousins. And you can probably get a rhizo pretty easily. As for the others... Link to comment

Bongo Shrimp Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Thanks everyone! If anyone else wants a croucher, just watch on DD everyday to see if any are put up for sale. You can sign up for a sneak peak email where they send you a list of what's going up that day. Link to comment
