Absolutely FANTASTIC! Nicely done!

I love this hobby. I was pulling chunks of coralline algae off my overflows to use as frag plugs (yes it's thick enough) when I came upon a very tiny crab...it was just like turning over rocks at the beach :lol:


Unfortunately when I released it back into the tank, it went for a ride through the vortechs and I don't know if it survived or not

Ha, I know what you mean.

It's entirely possible that the crab survived the trip just fine, I've seen small mysis shrimp and copepods get sucked and spat out, the in-and-out is so fast they don't really have a chance to get too pummelled (I think it's when the object is bigger and gets jammed in there that the blades are doing a chop-chop-chop number, but if they fit in between the blades they might not even be touched).

But OTOH, it's a crab. Crab on beach = "tee hee a crab!". Crab in tank = "ah @^%$^%!$ stupid crab". Well, usually anyhow. :lol:

I have a confession to make, I have never evicted any kind of critter from my tanks....Well, except for the clownfish but she was truly evil :lol:

I made 2 New Years resolutions this year. One was to not spend any more money on the tanks until my credit cards are paid off and two was not to do any pruning or fragging on the tank for a year....it will be interesting to see what the tank will look like this time next year....always providing I can keep my resolutions of course :redface:
So some pics to start the year off
