    Fellow reefers,

    I am in desperate need of your help. I have been away on Christmas break this week, just returned home to hatched cuttles!! I am over-nighting mysids, but due to the holiday am, afraid they won't arrive in time. If any of you have a few to spare it would save my hide. Thank you in advance for your help!

    Only the coolest animal in the ocean! Dwarf cuttlefish, Sepia Bandensis.

    I am a central campus student, but we don't have a mysis culture set up yet because I didn't anticipate them hatching this early. I searched a few tanks today, and found about 10 of them, so hopefully they should hold me over for a few days.
