You ARE right...They are NOT Arrow crabs...But whatever they are, I saw them on a website for $9.99 each....That's ok...I traded a nickle sized anenome and a crab for 2 baby false Perc clowns !!

for my fish i go to absolutely fish, the best lfs ever. They only hire people who know what they're talking about. On the downside they are kinda pricy but the fish are always perfect and never die on me. I also get them from the lfs i work at, NJ Pet. We're like right next to cinema 23 (if you know where that is) But we just got sold to ***** so as of 3/26 we will be *****

I know feeding some freshwater fish to marine can cause IBD but thats mostly with cases of feeding goldfish feeders to carnivors constantly overfeeding. Goldfish feeders are sickly and have HUGE skulls compared to most others. You want a marine fish to feed your stuff to, breed mollies as they can live in a saltwater environment.
Dont starve the reef and take more fish off of it just to feed your own fish.
Whats the difference between taking an eel "off the reef" and taking damsels"off the reef"?
The eel would be eating other fish if it was on the reef. The shrimp, squid, clams, etc. one would "train" their eel to eat didn't come out of thin air.
Has anyone explained the predator prey relationship to you?
Sorry for the flame, but carnivores eat other animals, its as simple as that.

The best deal I've gotten at my LFS is they refunded my money when I returned a tank stand (I ended up building one), a MJ 900 they charge $41.99 :scared: and a Red Sea Marine test kit they charged $50! That's the best deal I've gotten, returning their overpriced stuff.
I have been going to ***** lately, the LFS is trash...the owner has become very rude.
I returned all that stuff almost a year ago, turned around and bought live rock from them with that money too. The other LFS just closed down.
Now it's a monopoly!

the best deal i've gotten so far (tank is 2 days old) is the 70 or so lbs of cured live sand that i got for free (my bro upgraded from his 75 to a 150)......
and i can't wait to start checking out *****. seems to be a lot of stupid people working there. which is 2-fold for me since i live in s. fla, and there are so many stupid people living here to start with, i guess their working at *****...................
