I have seen red or pinkish crabs sold as emerals but never had one in my tank so I cann't be sure about its tempermeant

WHere is it in a rock, also where are you if youre in CT I'll get it out for you if you give it to me.

If this is all happening in the same place and the rocks wont be out of water long at all you should be fine but using the sand could be an issue since it will be stirred up when you take it from your 125 and put in the cube maybe just grab some new sand

I'm sure people will need a pick or description to give solid advice

SURE WHAT ARE YOU COOKING??

Meanwhile New England had record rain and wind and a new record high temp all in 24hrs yesterday

You can start by testing your source water, or maybe while doing the change you stirred the sand up too much and caused a minicycle, though I think you can certainly use more live rock

I know hermits will attack snails and probably other hermits for there shells, so you might want to get empties if you dont have them, I don't know maybe you have something else there seems to be an awful lot of death. I'll take any aggresive hitchhikers you dont wont though

You could treat with copper but if that 30 is going to be your sump again the copper will get into your DT, so I would say Hypo, sorry to hear about your puffer

Bring it back or find someone local who wants it.

No personal experience but if I was a betting man and I am I would say bye bye shrimp

I have done it by just putting them in a bucket with fresh water of the same temp for about 2-3 minutes, I think you can also use a delicate and soft brush to try to brush the parasites off after the dip

Check for threads with more specifics about what meds and the fresh water dip specifics, there has to be some well outlined instructions. Good Luck

I think a fresh water dip can provide some temporary relief, but I am not positive, if you dont want to give up treat him with meds in the QT and if he starts to eat again get some marine vitamins to supplement his food.

Congrats

wheres your girl Cranberry when you need her?

You can use as much of the water as you want and you'll want to slowly lower the salt to hypo levels, there should definaly be specific instructions in the disease and treatment section.

No prob dont feel bad there is alot of stuff to absorb with this hobby and its hard to not just buy things on a whim believe me I have been there, actually i had to do the same thing a while ago
