Added two emerald crabs and five peppermint shrimp. Pretty pricey at big Al's but I was there for buffer and calcium anyway. Peppermint shrimp took care of my first aptasia that came on a zoa colony from golds. Two emerald crabs to eat the algae that's starting to form here and there.

I actually saw one peppermint shrimp get into a tug of war with my torch coral over a pellet. Was pretty funny. The emerald crabs parted ways as soon as they were put in and are going to town on algae. Going to have to do a custodian package order from J&L.

One green torch coral. I can't believe this coral has survived my ham-fisted handling and general stupidity. Polyps are extending very nicely, almost back to the length they were in the LFS. No stingers drifting out yet, but I've made eating pretty easy for it. Hand fed a few brine shrimp and it seemed to like them.



Five dollar chromis playing a game of irritate the zoas. Very pretty and curious fish, best $15 I've spent in weeks!

Aaaaand five turbo snails, 10 margarita snails, 10 nassarius snails and forty blue legged hermit crabs in tonight. They are cleaning up the uglies quite nicely. Raised pH and it is holding nicely at 8.2.

Man those turbo snails clean fast!
