Just in case you didn't know my Psuedo Elongatus loves to go into the tube of my red and gold coco worm and rip its feathers off its head. It's done this dastardly deed twice today so I've put the victim in the fuge for the time being. I kinda want to get the little punk out of my reef. I've seen him nip at overturned snails too. But...he's just so darn pretty... On a side note, my lobo fell over on to my favorite orange yuma and nuked it as well as a good portion ...
I have been watching a black crab, that looks and acts like an emerald crab. His claws are white and flat on the tips (like an emerald crab) but seem to be a bit more "serrated" on the inside in the arch.

Today I did just that, I turned off one pump and noticed how the body of the skimmer was full of water and very little bubbles. ...
Well, took part in my first frag-swap over the weekend. I found the event very interesting and exciting. I reserved some items in advance and of course I had to make a few impromptu acquisitions as well. I have pictures and video of the new critters! Please forgive my camera skills, still learning the how to operate the new camera. Cosmic Chalice, Green Slimer, Tyree Sunset Monipora Danae Cosmic Chalice ...
I've assembled a small tank that's going to be going into my wife's office at her work. Wanted something small with built in filtration and able to be lit by either a small PC or LED setup. Made of acrylic 3/16" -- scraps from TAP Plastics, great for learning on Dimensions total: 9" wide, 9" tall, 11" long, 2.5" of that in the back is going to be used for the built in filtration/pump, probably be using a foam insert just under the overflow ...
