check this out. pretty cool what's out there.
Acropora millepora (Hayward et. at. 2004)
and YOU! we all looked the same the first days of our lives. neat huh? So now researchers have found that cnidarians may have mirror symetry like us and they may not be diploblastic like everyone has always assumed. We are all one! Somewhere in the waaay back a coral like critter was our grandad!

I've always wanted to build a human skeleton out of live rock and then fill it with different coral for the organs. Brain coral in the head, anemone for the stomach, sponge for the lungs, etc. That would be cool.

Jared, I've got a nice pink finger leather if you find yourself in need of an appendix. Or I could bring over a big fan in hopes that you might get some fresh air. ------------- Educate. Inspire. Conserve. http://[email protected] |

I must be the only one sick enough to find Jared's idea intriguing! Use aggrocreate to form the skeleton (laying in your tank). Then fill it with corals to mimic organs! Brilliant! ------------- Jon https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6y_EzjI_ljbIwf2n5uNzTw" rel="nofollow - What I've been doing... |

You could use two Metalic Blue Mushrooms for the eyes. This I think would look better than button polyps or large zoos.
Another sick thought, you could probably buy a fake skeleton(like they use at schools) made of plastic or ceramic put that in the tank and wait for the coraline to grow over it. It would make the overall effect look more real and possibly raise questions as to "who" is in the tank? 
Weird. |

Oh come on.. you have GOT to put feather dusters for eye lashes! They may have no other purpose than to remind people of eye lashes!
I love the pic... and I'm glad I'm not the only one giggling maniacally at the Brain coral. |
