ok so i might not be able to keep my shameface considering hes a box crab and he might eat coral and all my snails and fish... anybody have one?
**UPDATE**
so i was talking to my friend who got me it. I have a little ten gallon in my basement that im not using so... i think im gonna grab a filter for that and set that up maybe just have the shameface in that :) he will get pretty big so im thinking he can keep that whole tank to himself with an exception of a couple feeder fish and snails

ok so i just fed the bryzoan and the pink coral. pink retracted its tendrils(lol tendrils or tentecles wutev) pretty quickly. but he put them out again in like 10-20 minutes. i knew he must be eating and also the tank was pretty cloudy with salmon so he was getting some food...

just had a funny thought...
one year when i took care of some troppys for the aquarium in the winter (we are seasonal) i got a little ten gallon and had a juvenile blue angel, a sea robin, a northern puffer, and a shame face crab. when the angel came up to the glass looking for me my dog jumped on the bed and would headbutt my tank.
LUCKILY this tank will be further from my bed... hopefully not frenchbulldog length.....

that last tank was acrylic good thing :)

really? mine had some for about two weeks then ran out... yeah mandarins are just so great colorful, cute, and lots of personality :)
at first i was thinking about hybriding them. saw it on youtube they had a spotted and a green both paired displaying to eachother really cool!

unfortuneatly the best did not come. about 30 seconds ago my shameface lost 3 of her legs. she is completerly out but im worried she might die shes floating around cuz shes so bouyant
atleast shes out
the reason its so bad is because of how big theyre claws are. really clunky.
shes been working on her right one for about 5 hours and now she just loses everything...

my shameface isnt a hermit, hes a box crab. i wouldnt recomend him for reefs though, he eats coral sometimes. im really mad at fish.com the tank i ordered shipping was originally 48$ they called me today saying it is 314$!! im canceling the order. looking at tanks in my area.
