I have had this one for a little over a year. And the original owner had it for 3 years before that.







Hard to get a good idea of the size, but it is a like a ball a good 10" in diameter when it is all blown up.

Anyway, I also have a snail graveyard underneath the body of the elegance. I've suspected for a long time that the elegance was killing them. But I couldnt be sure as the elegance is in a corner, and I thought it possible that shells were just collecting there. Now I see a lot of other people thinking the same thing.

I wonder if the elegance could really be eating the snails though. Hard to imagine that the tentacles are getting inside the shells and pulling them out. I'd suspect snails are just getting trapped underneath and just dying from some sort of toxins. But I dont really know.

I'm glad the sea cucumbers that like to stay underneath it arent dying too.
