    shaving brush plant or maiden hair?

    I had two shaving brush plants in my tank(I too like the way they look) and my hermit crabs went to town. They had completely eaten both of the shaving brush plants in two days. The only good thing about these were that they weren't very expensive!

    All corals should be temp. acclimated so that they don't go into shock!!! All corals should also be drip acclimated!
