I'd like to get one of those in my tank :-)

Anyone have any idea were a hobbyist could get one of them?

Lysiosquillina glabriuscula is a common species in the Caribbean occuring from the low intertidal to 30 m. They are common on sand flats and sandy bottoms. They are a bit tricky to catch, so I doubt that most collectors would supply them although they do occasionally show up at night lights and in shrimp trawls. I collect mine of SCUBA using a noose.

Since they dig burrows and stay put for life, once a burrow is identified you can go back to it year after year. Many divers in the Keys know Lysiosquillina and could probably take you to one.

I forgot. I posted above a photo of the same species threatening. I took the photo with the same blue light and yellow filter used in the video.
