The dragon is a aquarium decoration sold at Petsmart. Listed below is the description listed on petsmart.com. I received as a gift for Christmas gift after parents seen my tank. Hence my name is listed as Dragonist(pronouced Drag-kon-ist)(lame I know i created it), if have always liking of dragons. I drew them looked at movies etc etc... But back to the dragon in my reef(not much of 1 now) here is the description from the site.

Top Fin® Horizontal Balinese Dragon with Airstone Aquarium Ornament

Product Description: Item: 2752278
This ancient dragon may look menacing sitting at the bottom of your tank, but your tank denizens will enjoy the fact he breaths bubbles and not fire! Safe for saltwater and freshwater tanks.


Other information not listed in the description. The dragon has 2 open locations. First is it's mouth and underneath it is also a whole are the locations. I had to close the bottom one with super glue+lr pieces at the bottom. For the mouth i used torn plastic(kind fish come in for lfs) + super glue again. Reason why I did this you ask? I did it due to I never seen my Engineer Goby A.K.A "Goby". He would pop out sometimes to grab food, and that was a rare for that to occure.
