To arm yourself with a bit more understanding about why, for cephalopods, the distinction is real you need to understand a little about octopuses cousins. Both squid and cuttlefish have 10 appendages. Eight of them are arms with suckers like the octopus but the other two are designated as tentacles and have suckers only at the tips. These are specialized for catching food. The last member of the extant cephalopods, the nautilus has only suckerless tentacles (about 90 of them).
Agreed. I wont feed crawfish as primary but every couple days. But that's just me. I really thought ghost shrimp and grass shrimp were the same. Then again I don't do biology. LOL Anyway the idea is to be able to find another food source.
Thank you. I have waited 10 years to get a vulgaris. What I find crazy is the place I buy blue crabs from sell frozen vulgaris an they are caught local so this tells me they are making a comeback. We did not see them here for a long time.
