    Default Cucumber...this is cool.

    Cool as a cucumber... not the salad kind...this is really cool. When I bought this creature I was told they reproduce by dividing. I really hadn't counted on it actually doing that but it did. It turned dark and limp, I was sure it was dying. Then I saw it was pinched in the middle and had an idea of what was going on. After about two days I noticed the split was complete. You could see light between the two sections. The front section colored right back up and the back section is now growing it's own set of branching tentacles. Buy one, get one free! This tank has creatures that do really weird things...

    Jenene that is really cucumber cool! You know it would not do that if your tank was not optimum. Its a testament to the care you give it. Nice job!
