Keep trying - it will come good. Make sure you fully wait for the edit page to complete loading. PN is sensitive to 'timeouts'. I'm amazed you have now found 2 of these. They are a fascinating life form.. a kingdom of their own. You could visit http://www.hiddenforest.co.nz/slime/inde... to see some of these 'things'.

Argy I cant edit this spotting & put your ID on it for some reason. I've tried just using the common name & it still wont let me :( Thank you for your ID. I'm not sure what the problem is.
