they are probably just alcohol preserved. we have had ragworm in our undergraduate labs for ten years and they still seem the same, they would probably be fine for wrasse and the like.

they are preserved under 70% ethanol,20% water, 10% glycerol but the glyc could be left out. i must try it with lug

If the Crow is talking about real absinthe (made from wormwood)
then drinking the benzene is probably safer. :shock: :D :D

i like the look of that Lazy Lug i can get bucket's full of lug in the Summer but in the winter they tend to move deeper and are very hard to get so Lazy Lug would be perfect
