I was looking for photos of deep tanks running LEDs. As usual some other crazy sh17 came up. But this one grabbed me pretty hard. I'm still waiting on this "video" to load, But Holy Guacamole batman!!

The video is just the same photo's as the article, with a video of a guy with a jar of "regular" amphipods. Not worth the slow load at all.

I think they are cute.

I wonder what they taste like

Chicken?? Sorry somebody had to say it.

I agreed with SAZAMA on first sight of it though. I could see 2-3 of them on a plate (maybe a bit pinker) with a shell cracker and a bowl of butter. Maybe next to a Filet Mignon?

Man you guys are crazy! Food and cute do NOT come to mind when I see these things. This on the other hand.......
