Turtle's Fairy Tale

[SashimiTurtle]

Just tried feeding a small piece of squid. No luck. It's been a rough two days... I'll let him settle and try again another day.

Ok back to the 90. Here's some close ups of the GHA infestation. Hopefully the added CUC can shrink this down. From my experience, urchins are algae eating machines. I'll get in there eventually and pull the long stuff out.

Gula puhi. Golden eel.

KU – The Hawaiian god of war. Ku wields a fiery mace that burns with the souls of the gods, demons and mortals he has personally slain in combat.

In this case he would live in the skull of one of his victims. Mythology always fascinated me.

Was the code expired or didn’t work on your items? I assumed they’d figure out they messed something up eventually.

I plugged in a Reefer 425 and got a bunch of red words

Schrodinger's eel...

WHO'S Schroder?

When they mature, are they social or just eating machines?

On the Peanuts... Sally's Sweet Baboo

On the Peanuts...

Or is he a cat owner?

Or is he a cat owner?

Maybe. I think. Probably a test run for Sally.

@Brew12 Shrodinger was a cat owner

Same... My first eel, Ryujin, was named after the ancient Japanese mythological god of the sea who appeared as a serpent and lived in a palace covered in coral... My Tomini tang is named Ahi, which is maori for flame. Funny thing, the native Hawaiian word for eel is "tuna."

I was thinking of one of the Hawaiian gods... haven't decided yet.

From wiki
"In The Flash (2014 TV series). H.R. Wells refers to the theory of Schrödinger's cat as "Schroeder's Cat", and is told by Cisco that Schroeder is "the kid from Peanuts who plays the piano". Wells responds that in Peanuts on his earth, Charlie Brown plays the piano, and states that it is a recurring joke that "he's so bad at it"."

WHO'S Schroder?

Erwin Schrödinger was an Austrian physicist and Nobel Prize winner. He came up with some formula that changed quantum physics or some ish that's over my head... I think he's most famous for his cat tho. It's a thought experiment thing... here, wikipedia can explain it better than me...

"Schrödinger's cat: a cat, a flask of poison, and a radioactive source are placed in a sealed box. If an internal monitor (e.g. Geiger counter) detects radioactivity (i.e. a single atom decaying), the flask is shattered, releasing the poison, which kills the cat. The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics implies that after a while, the cat is simultaneously alive and dead. Yet, when one looks in the box, one sees the cat either alive or dead not both alive and dead. This poses the question of when exactly quantum superposition ends and reality collapses into one possibility or the other."

What I meant was by not looking in the box, the eel could have been both alive and dead at the same time.

I think I remember that episode...

I think it's the only episode I watched. My son was a big fan.

I'm still liking Nihoa. Not a god, but it is Hawaiian for "tooth". And, like Maui, it's the name of a Hawaiian island. Just a very small one.

@Brew12 I have never seen or read anything The Flash. Please only suspend me from the club...

So that's why most say "Tuna-Fish"

If anyone is interested in more than dead cats in a box, this is a fascinating experiment:

Double-slit experiment
“In modern physics, the double-slit experiment is a demonstration that light and matter can display characteristics of both classically defined waves and particles; moreover, it displays the fundamentally probabilistic nature of quantum mechanical phenomena. The experiment was first performed with light by Thomas Young in 1801. In 1927, Davisson and Germer demonstrated that electrons show the same behavior, which was later extended to atoms and molecules.”

Just saw this... the dwarf moray is actually colonial, unlike most other eels who are very solitary. To the point of killing and or eating others of the same species. Probably adapted because of their small size and being easy prey for many fish and larger eels. I think Pacific Island Aquatics had a video of a dozen or so GDMs feeding on mysis. Very cool video. Let me go find it....

Well, that took all of 3.2 seconds.

Radiation and cats now
