    Multiple Crab Id's Please

    This second one has also been in my 20 gallon tank for at least a year maybe longer. He is strictly nocturnal. I have never seen him out during lights on. He scavenges from what i can tell. This shot is him nabbing the molt of my holloween hermits leg. He likes to leave nice piles of items...

    Multiple Crab Id's Please

    This first one is in my 12 gallon. He's been in there for well over a year now. I haven't noticed anything missing. He only shows his face when I feed and sometimes at night ill catch him wandering around. Im not really worried about him even though he looks like a rock crab but it'd be nice...

    caught the sob moster!!!!!

    I have a crab that looks similar to that in my 12. He's been in there a year and hasn't seemed to touch any of the other inhabitants. He's got hairy stripped legs, black tip claws, and very noticable eyes. His claws are different if i remember right. They form clamps rather than the pointed...

    if you go the anemone route yes you need halides, but any other coral seen in this post can easily be kept with pc's and the right water conditions.

    Lighting

    just try and place the ballast away from the tank. it creates the most heat.

    DIATOM question

    really.... hmm ive heard nothing but bad stories about them. they get rather large and aggressive eventually. you probably wont see that until you add a new fish after hes established in your tank.

    Feding phytoplankton ?

    what corals? alot of them don't need it. phytoplex or dt's? the first is pretty worthless. either way none of it will get eaten up by your filters.

    LFS should nurse fish for free.

    400 gallon tank all your fish are dead? sorry man. greenex was recommended by them? only real way to treat ich is copper, formalin, or hyposalinity. greenex ive heard is a bunch of crap and not worth the money.

    strong filter

    hmmm. when you said you bought live sand what did you rinse it with? fresh water i hope not? i will explain filtration in saltwater tanks. over time and especially in tanks with live rock you will not need the "filtration" power of your filter. the bacteria that builds up on your live sand...

    sebae clown info

    he's been there for 4 days? does he look bad or is he just being lazy. i would leave him alone and minimize any contact you have with him. once he feels safe he'll come out. i would most definitely try to spot feed him so he doesn't starve. fish can go a while without eating but im guessing...
