It looks really good now,those brains add some great contrasting colors.The brains look quality too.

Thanks deacon, I really like how the little tank looks now, very happy! So far both the brains are doing well, the green one hasn't eaten yet, but seems to puff up when the light go off the same as the red brain. However, the red brain eats like a pig (try not to feed too, too much, but couldn't resist. Very cool to watch it eat, hehe). I've also noticed a small little crab (probably a anemone crab) living in between one of the folds of the red brain. It's very small, maybe only a quarter of an inch!

Okay, I was staring at my tank tonight and saw this huge ugly butt poking out of a live rock. This crab is huge (about two inches long!!) I don't know how I could have not seen this crab before.

Unfortunatly, my little anemone crab (different one then the one living in the open brain) was on the same rock and he had fallen out during the process. He made it and I put him back in the tank (same hole he was living in too).

Well, I started up a 3 gallon mantis tank!! There are two mantis in the tank, but one is having a little trouble staying rightside up. I also have a hand full of small crabs in case anyone wants to come over for a seafood salad :mrgreen: , JK, they are reserved for the mantises :evil: Oh and I also have a sundial snail, but he doesnt get to eat any zoos (I like my zoos :mrgreen: )

Lookin really good there...

Cool Mantis :cool: Also, sorry to hear about your starfish incident.. hopefully he makes a full and speedy recovery for you!

Your 10g is lookin' awesome. You have more specimens in there than I have in my 135g!
BTW...how do you post so many pics without goin' over your allowable limit?

Cheers,

Thanks OCDP, the star fish is almost completly healed, and all his little legs are in working order :biggrin:

Hello there Mark! Really, I have more specimens then you!!?? Hehe, 10 gallons is fairly small and cost much less then stocking up a 135 gallon tank. You'll get there...someday... :mrgreen:
