After seeing a photo of one in book years ago I have finally gotten my hands on one.They look very similar to the Megalodoras urinoscopus..I've had it for about a month now and it has taken to laying up against the heater in a dim corner of the tank.It has actually burned itself so now was a good opportunity to move some things around and take some photos.
20160504_092221.jpg the burn mark is visible in this shot.

Hey, KRich, do you regret getting rid of the uraniscopis? Mine has started coming out in the day now. It's pushing a ft long now. He's almost as active as my granulosis.
