I'll be getting a pair for my nano, when it's ready for livestock. Or two.

Complete pet had them on for $15 (they only had one) but it had both anemones (sometimes they drop them). I took a long time added it and everything looked great yesterday. Can't find it today (but I hear that's common for these guys).

Really a great little creature.

Oh great addition Mark!!! I love Pom Pom Crabs! They do tend to be shy though, some people think they are dead, but they show up months later. They seem to like to hide for awhile, then learn to come out. Hey, you should take a pic of that coral to get it IDed. The one I thought was Porites-esque!

Default Urchin

Mark:

If you are still struggling with algae I now have 2 urchins. I would like to get rid of one now that my algae issue is more or less under control.

I like him but in my 180 I don't think I would ever see it so I keep it in my fuge. I actually got it as a hitchhiker.

Mark I have to be in Falkland for 12 so I will get hold of you when I get back. If I could have a piece of eggcrate that would be great. I am going to go do 9 holes before I go, so it will have to be after

Well, it's been a while since I updated this...mostly because my picture taking just leaves so much to be desired.

Here's a FTS of my nano...I've been away for a bit so it needs a scraping that will come this weekend.


Here's a closeup of one of the SPS in the tank that's doing quite well.



And lastly, in trying to deal with the unknown algae that has plagued this tank so badly, I've added a fuge recently. I know the light is ghetto but it's made from parts of a coralife light that simply fell apart on my last fuge.



It's gravity fed back to the tank. As I haven't figure out how to stop the chaeto from plugging the return, I've got it locked in a breeder box for now.

Cool little fuge! Have you thought of using egg crate to hold the chaeto back?
