Those crabs are super cool too. I passed on one at RC and got an Emerald instead since they're pretty good at eating algae but the Porcelains def looked better I think.

Thanks. I bought the rock from a friend of mine and the crab was a nice surprise (I also have a pistol shrimp in there, never seen him but I hear him often) I only hope the the fu-man or frog don't eat him. I have a bit of hair algae so I'd like to get an emerald but I'm pretty sure he'd get eatten so I think I'll have to pass.

Fireflight (fu-man chu) ate another silverside yesterday, but Bubblebee (frog) seems to have stopped eating He ate some silversides for me a week and a half ago but since then he's stopped. I tried krill and mussel yesterday but he just looked at it and wouldn't eat. I'll try some squid tonight and see what happens.

For me it's just easier to jump right in and do it. If I sit around thinking to much and planing things out I'd probably psych myself out and not do it.

Here's some more pic's. I got some new frags but unfortunately in the process of attaching them to rock I ended up collapsing some of the rock work So I have a bit of a new look for the tank, which ironically looks a lot like how I had it the first time I did it. Also my frogfish has decided he likes to eat again and not just spit out food So for the last few days both Bumblebee and Fireflight have been eating well

Sooooo... my dinner is ready and for now I'll just post a full tank shot, and post the closer up pic.'s later.

Just so you know the frogfish I have in the tank now (the one in the pic.'s in this thread) I got from Ken. I named him Bumblebee and he is alive and well and finally consistently eating silversides.

The reason people at the beginning of this thread said sorry to hear about froggy is because I originally I set up this tank for my friends small grayish frogfish. However once the tank was ready for that frogfish to come live in it, I went to my friends to pick it up, only to find it dead Murphy's law he had it for about a year and it dies the day I go to pick it up.

So a couple of weeks later I went to Blue world and found Bumblebee (a sargassum frogfish) and the tank is now his home along with a fu man chu lionfish I named Fireflight.

Here's some new pic.'s of my fish and my crab. (frag pic's another day when I have more time before bed)

Bumblebee, who was hungry today and actually came to the tweezers for food before I could go to him, and ended up eating 2 piece's of silverside because he stole Fireflights food! Don't worry though because I got another piece for Fireflight, which he ate.


Fireflight


Mr. crab, who hangs upside down in the rock trying to filter feed.


I also often hear popping sounds coming from the tank and my friend that I got the rock from said he was missing a candycane pistol shrimp, so I'm pretty sure he's in there but I have yet to see him. When I do I will post a pic.

Looking good Laurie! I like it!
