Aeric told me they had the bat fish and a cuttle fish, but I was too rushed to go take a look at them.

They did have a cuttle fish, but all you could see of him was an eyeball. No idea on the prices of either. The batfish was about 4 to 5 inches long and at least 3 across. I had a tough time googling a good photo. There is definately another type of batfish, I think from the Red Sea.

[redpaulhus]

ahhh too big for me (when I was in college, we seined up a few 'pancake batfish' on a research cruise off of Florida, they were about the size of a quarter, very cute...)

I was hoping for a little bitty guy...

[starrfish]

He was really ugly before, but now he's kinda cute with that hat on!
