Unfortunately the Zoas are all gone from the previous posting...someone had an expensive snack..at first I thought it was the Foxface, but the other day I spotted a 3" emerald crab...Hmmm

Then there was the windex incident. Things seem to be getting their colour back, but I did have some damage to the green monti cap and the yellow (?) on the right.













Hope you enjoyed the photos..

Tank is looking great.
You've done a remarkable job despite your set backs.

OK, figured out what ate ALLof my zoas and was taking chunks out of various other corals...
A BFC...Big Fargen Crab..
It is 2.5" wide and 0.75" thick....





It came out the other night when I was feeding...this was a quarter size "emerald crab" I put in about 6 months ago..and I hadn't seen it for about 2 months..

I am thinking it must go???

He does look like a bit of a bastard, I just took a big ass emerald out of my tank that was HUGE, like you I thought he had died long ago.

Yes, it looks like it ready to pounce! It kinda looks like the predator from the movie Predator, with those beady eyes and patchy coloured head..

I bought it as a "emerald crab", but the "emeraldness" begins and finishes with the crab being green...then again I also bought a peppermint shrimp from the same store and it wasn't really as advertised either.

Now, I know better than to buy from anywhere other than RC...

The trick will be getting the bugger out without loosing my rockwork or a finger..
