Bioscape Space Alien 8 x 5.5 x 9cm
An oversized-eyed extraterrestrial hideaway for small fish and shrimp. The Bioscape Space Alien is a hand-finished, non-toxic resin ornament at 8 × 5.5 × 9 cm, styled as a wide-eyed alien figure sized to sit as a talking-point feature in a nano tank or sci-fi themed aquascape.
Key features
- Hand-finished resin — cast and hand-painted, so texture and colour vary slightly piece to piece.
- Compact footprint — 8 × 5.5 × 9 cm suits nano and small display tanks without dominating the layout.
- Novelty focal point — a lighthearted sci-fi accent for tanks that don't take themselves too seriously.

Suitable for, and not suitable for
Suitable for freshwater and marine aquariums, nano tanks and sci-fi or novelty-themed aquascapes. Not designed as a climbing or basking feature for reptile or amphibian enclosures — it's an aquatic ornament only.
Care and maintenance
Rinse thoroughly under running water before adding it to the tank to clear manufacturing dust or loose resin particles. No soaking or curing is required — it's inert and won't affect pH or water chemistry.
Warranty and delivery
Covered against manufacturing defects under Bioscape's warranty, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law.
Common questions
Will it affect my water chemistry?
No — it's a non-toxic, inert resin that doesn't alter pH or hardness.
Does it float or sink?
It sinks and sits in place on the substrate; no gluing or weighting down is needed for normal use.
Is it reef safe?
Bioscape markets it as safe for both freshwater and marine setups, but as with any ornament in a sensitive reef system, rinse it well and introduce it gradually if you're being cautious.
Is it safe for shrimp?
Yes — as an inert, non-toxic resin ornament it's safe for shrimp and other invertebrates, and its shape gives small shrimp somewhere to shelter.
