nautilus I love the way they look and move. I’d keep a tank of them but don’t want them to go blind.
They’re so ancient evolutionary speaking that their eyes are sensors behind a hole in the shell. They have no way to dilate in response to light and are adapted to deep low light conditions.
So keeping them in a tank where I could see them would burn their eyes out in a day or two.
