Holy Crap! Lucky or what? What could have been a disaster was in reality a pretty good night for you: Tuskfish OK, 'Nucks beat the Sharks, nitrates at 0, corals looking good. Must have been the "Lucky 7" in the date yesterday. Don't push it though, get that cover built!

Yeah I guess it was a good evening. Its been a while since nitrates were 0. Corals are looking either great or still terrible actually. I should have mentioned that a few that browned seem to be staying brown.

Apparently I had a mantis or pistol shrimp in the tank and my tusk found it. He was kind of parading it around in his mouth this morning. Occasionally bashing its head on the rocks. By the time I got the camera though, it was eaten. I don't know where the shell went though--maybe he ate that too! I was only able to grab one of the legs. It was very big.

Blue legs with purple stripes. The one leg I removed from the tank must be 3/4".

Could it have come with the live rock you got yesterday?

LOL...not yet. But I was actually planning on it today. We'll see if the luck continues

Now that the Powder brown has been here a week, I am finding he is getting quite bold with the other fish and it turning into a real bully. He may not work out so well. He hates the tusk who now has badly nipped fins, my Naso has nipped fins, Copperband a little bit of a nipped tail, Yellow Tang nipped fins...the only one I see chasing any other fish anymore is the Powder Brown. I will give it a few weeks and see if he clams down. Hopefully they are just working things out. Its flaring up the ich in the tank quite a bit though. Funny thing is, the Powder Brown doesn't really have ich. Its the poor tusk thats covered. Kind of weird but I guess he is stressed out. Should go away in a few days.
