Crab is DOA it appears. Just wondering if its a molt. I believe they molt also?? Looks nothing like my shrimp molts though.

Sure sure make me wait for the fts

Don't give up on the crab just yet. A couple of weeks ago I did a big tank clean and had some rock out of the water for about 10 min.'s. Unfortunately at the time I did this I forgot I had an anemone crab in there and the next day I saw what I thought 100% for sure was a dead crab body. However a week later I look into the tank and there's my little crab alive and well. So it could very well just be a molt, and just so you know it really did look nothing like my shrimp molts and very much like an intact dead crab.

New skimmer still in the box......

One of my Fire shrimp

One of the cleaners

Various coloured mushroom frags, cut from Mikes tank. Some are growing through, others staying under the netting. Will be fun cutting around them.

Took a few more tonight also. Will post them later. The 800 by 600 size seems better than the couple huge ones I posted. Those are fine on large monitors but I imagine need to scrolled on smaller ones.

Looks great so far. No issues with the two kinds of shrimp together? I thought fire shrimp were supposed to be be fairly aggressive with sharing territory?

Not that I have seen Tony. That pic obviously was a cleaner, which I have fixed now.

I have two fire shrimp, 2 cleaners and 2 peppermints. Have never seen any aggression. The do have their own sections for hanging out but at feeding time, are usually together chasing down food.
