Question
would it be possible to have a Glaucus atlanticus (bluedragon sea slug) in an aquarium? have you ever herd of this? how would i get one and car for it?

thanks

Answer
PS --- ytea the blue ring was venemous also, but that was what i was referring to.. the deep blue color seems to be a patter to poison??? hehehe

thanks for the feedback

WOW, what a find!!!

I am impressed...

i was unable to locate any vendor that sells it.. i am guessing because it is poisones/venomous..

But without that consideration, I would think it's chance of survival in an aquaria is probably not going to be too successful...  

We would not be able to feed it easily, and Im wondering how well it will do in a usually high flow aquarium... as it floats under hte water surface...

I am thinking the color is something similar to the blue ring octopus... both are ver vibrant blue...

but, wow.. i really love this critter...  Please keep me posted if you find a source and history of how to care/keep this animal...

thanks for sharing...
