Is it natural? Yes. Cycle of life, survival of the fittest, whatever you want to call it. Is it something you want in your reef tank? Probably not. There's no way to tell what kind of crab he has based on your description, but I'd never keep anything with that kind of behavior in my reef...

He is so adorable!!! I just want to cuddle him for hours. I'm assuming you're trying to crate train him. If so, you might consider putting a stuffed animal in the crate with him, something big enough that he could cuddle with like it was one of his littermates. A ticking alarm clock outside...

You had me going there for a moment. I was like... "Wait, what? Someone else is leaving? WTH?"

Very nice! I love the rockwork.

That thud you just heard was the sound of my jaw hitting the floor. Stunning tank!

If it were me, I'd get rid of him. It's hard to tell for sure from the pictures, but from the behavior you described, it sounds like a type of whelk. They look kind of like nassarius snails, but they are voracious carnivores that will kill and eat snails. They also like to munch on clams...

Probably. Damsels tend to be very territorial. With the exception of some green chromis, I've never had any luck with damsels of any kind. Every single one I have ever owned (except the green chromis) has been an evil little SOB and had to be taken out of the tank and returned to the LFS.

I've never heard of a snail going carpet surfing. I wouldn't worry about them.

I got this in an email recently. I laughed so hard I cried.

It looks like a common acropora crab. Acro crabs are harmless and live in harmony with their associated coral. They will die if separated from it.

I keep seeing teenagers out there in 80s trends... neon colors, leg warmers and various other things that make me cringe. Let the fashion of the 80s die, PLEASE.

I haven't seen these guys in awhile... miss them... RyeBread NM reef Thomas712 Kip (can't remember his exact username)

LOL... I've only got 5 of these things that I know of. Cranberry - If you can just tell me what you would suggest as far as packaging, I'll find it around here and get these sent off to you. I've got a bag that I can put some water and the flatworms in, but is there anything special I need to...

A 6 gallon nano is WAY too small for any kind of angler. A little bitty tank like that can handle one small fish, like a clown goby or something similar in size. And even then, daily top offs and weekly water changes are a must to keep the water parameters in line.

I tend to follow the "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all" philosophy. If I don't think the tank is pretty, I won't compliment it, but sometimes there is a specific coral or fish that can be complimented honestly.
