tied this as a idea from a friend

this was my 1st attempt at this

You dump 'em in a large bowl of water and see if they float properly?

not yet but now i know to do that

yep they float properly

I was a little worried about the head area. When compressed, foam loses its buoyancy. And then you’ve got the eyes as well.

I’m sure those will get some fish.

Here’s my damsel. Nothing special.
