## Notes
The sabella is very sensitive to current, so we need to get close very quitely. If it feels current, the fan just vanish.
It's a sabella because it have one fan, unlike the spirograph that has two.
We often view Sabellastarte indica as a synonym, both define the same specie. They exist in various colors.
