I have a little white crab that came in with one of my acros...seems to not affect the acro at all...should I be worried...I thought it was a good crab.

Is it hairy? Does it have a black or dark brown type mask over its eyes? Its probably a commensal crab. This is a bit of a better photo.

Here's another good photo of one.

So our colonies have been enjoying tank life for about two weeks now. We've seen quite a bit of colour shifting in some colonies, and nothing in others. A little bit of comparison for all of you. Older photos are at the top. Apologies for the out of focus shots.

Stunning, love that purple/cream milli and the little blue tree one in the pic with the pink milli (don't you just love it when I get all technical? :razz:).

Thank you. I love the little blue tree too! I thought it was too delicate and pretty to pass up at the store!

Just got confirmation that our RKE shipped today. It was in Wisconsin early this afternoon. No ETA on it.

michika 07-05-2008 02:54 PM

Quick Update
- RKE is still in Wisconsin
- Ozonizer is at Customs in B.C.
- SPS order to arrive on Monday, or Tuesday
- The Kalk. top-off did fail as I expected. I turned it on and forgot about it. Oops! No harm, I don't fill it up enough to cause any problems.
- Researching inverts, or fish, to add that will help keep the sandbed clean, suggestions?
