Great photo Hix! A strangely beautiful yet incredibly deadly denizen of the deep.:)

Hate to spoil your alliteration, but it's a deadly denizen of the shallows. These are often encountered in tidal rockpools and around the shoreline.

As for what they feed it, there were some empty shells in the tank, and they probably offer it prawns/shrimp and small fish.
 
@GL: WHAT?!? What kind of pet shops do you have in Manchester?!? What else are they selling-sea wasps? Geography Cones? Portuguese Man o' War?


Thanks for another splendid pic of yours, Hix.

That's what I thought!
But I haven't seen any of the others. Incidentally in UK law, you don't need a Dangerous Wild Animals Licence to keep any of these species - although you do for sea-snakes.
