Hermits forgiven. Emerald BUSTED.

Haha that was just flame bait

I can photoshop something in for you though =)

If anyone wants this guy for free pm me for pickup tonight. He's coming out before I head to bed either way.



The three plainer, smaller guys I've never seen on corals so they can stay for now.

Well I never got rid of any hermits. All was ok until my Clown started blasting sand all over the tank. Now she has a new home and an anemone to boot.

Tank is doing really well but I was growing concerned over my emerald crab which has for some reason more than doubled in size in the month I had her. I was sitting in front of the tank which I do ALL the time and noticed her wrap her arms around one of my birdsnests. Normally the crab will reach around it because there is some algae to pick at on the other side. NOT THIS TIME.

She started ASSAULTING the birdsnest and plucking the polyps. I thought after a few of them she'd sort out that they weren't algae but I was wrong!

Luckilly I have been feeding her mysis and algae-based pellets on the side to keep her happy from the end of a split skewer. I placed my net in the tank and lured her over with a pellet. Took no more than 2 minutes and she was OUT. Nice having a greedy and trained crab for a pet.

This is just a warning to all. Hardest working grazer in my tank by far but as she got larger she became less 'reef safe' lol.

My daughter was looking for Sally today. I hope she forgets about her!

I tried an Emerald once to hopefully eat some bubble algae I had at the time. It totally ignored the algae and went straight to coral polyps. Banished to the sump.

Yeah wish I had a sump...all I'm saying

I guess I'm gettin' lucky, my Emerald and Hermits haven't touched a thing. Then again, I don't have much in the tank so maybe they just haven't found them yet!

Well...I've only got 1 or 2 frags (+/- 20 accuracy)

I 'll keep an eye on them as I add more to the tank.
