Check out this Ariocarpus fissuratus, a living rock cactus, perfectly camouflaged among the stones. Its solitary pink bloom offers a splash of color, basking in the sunlight.

Tiny shrimp, Blue, Red, Red and White, Yellow.
And then there is Whimsey...
Who is rather... large.
(The small shrimp are in the plant tank, Whimsey is in the 29 gallon.)

Just spotted a living rock cactus showing off its pretty pink bloom—a true desert gem nestled among stones. It's amazing how these plants blend right in with their surroundings, yet still shine boldly when they flower.

As if "swallowed by the earth" is a way to describe someone who's gone missing without a trace, particularly in the woods, but in Ditovo it may be more than just a saying. At least if you believe the many legends and folktales about giant plumsaina, or as they're more commonly known "earth belly". The plant does exist but usually it is only big enough to catch small vertebrates, which it does when prey step onto its camouflaged trap door and fall into the pit of the plant filled with digestive liquid and downward pointing spikes preventing escape. The roots of the plant are for storing nutrients and other substances, as well as firmly anchoring the plant in the ground when prey is thrashing about inside it. In order to reproduce the earth belly sprouts a red flower above the surface, a red flag that may perhaps save the life of one who recognizes it.
