Now if you would prefer the laborious terms wobbegong, octopus and lobster
I can work it it,
but your just making it hard on yourself digger.


Eh, no real worries (insert "mate" here). You're at least giving evidence,
it
seems, based on your firsthand experience, rather than on videos or
articles
someone you know says they read. And posting like you talk is most
certainly
not the worst thing a person can do.


Plus "swarvegorilla" has great cred in the aquaria groups. Most of which
have been taken over by a long-lived flame war amongst rejects of the mental
variety and his/her post are of the few that are worth reading. Their
insight in this thread is welcome.
