If you haven't looked at Amano's home page yet, you really should. I haven't seen his books, but I'm going to be ordering one soon now. http://www.rim.or.jp/~ada/ENG/ADA_e.html I assume the shrimp in the picture at: http://www.rim.or.jp/~ada/LIB/angel.jpg is a Cardina japonica. Wish I could get them, because they are not only useful (from what I've read), but also very attractive. Thanks to LAM Shing, for posting the home page address. David W.
