Unfortunately, this little guy is no longer with me. I sold him to a fellow board member. My remaining crabs are not nearly as vivid in color.

This guy was a really fast grower. When I first got him, he only had 1 claw. But this was during the time that I was battling bryopsis and he had tons to eat. He just turned greener and greener and molted twice in about 2 months. He got big and got the missing claw back after the first molt. He was my biggest crab and I got worried that he'll start catching my smaller fish during the night (call it paranoia cause I've never seen an Emerald catch a live fish yet). Too bad cause he's the brightest green emerald crab I've seen.

Say, what's entry #7? It doesn't look like a Royal Gramma.

Very good Sam, but you're trailing that rather ordinary seahorse photo. How many times are we allowed to vote?? :D

And that Royal Gramma in the one photo is a new morph or something? And how about that "BTA?" Yeesh.

Alan ;)

Thanks for voting AJ. Only 1 vote is available for each IP address I think.

Don't think this fish is a Royal Gramma at all. It looks like a male anthias.

Doesn't look anything like my Royal Gramma. I'm sure it's just been mis-labeled.

Yes, and a T-Shirt too. I can never get enough T-Shirts.

Definitely not a Gramma loreto, could be Pseudoanthias huchti or P. squamipinnis but I've never seen those colours before. If the photo isn't doctoed, then that is one nice fish.
