Yeah, just start turning rocks over, or trade them for bare ones. LOL that practically what I did. now everyone I know w/saltwater has GSP's. they are VERY fast growers, and they will bridge from one rock to another in just a few days. Great coral, and very hardy. They are a great filler for those in-between spaces also. I recommend them for everyone.

thanks again, i think i spotted another rock i could possibly put it on, still close to a xenia, but nothing else.
i posted another thread and didnt get a reply, i want to add a gsp, royal gramma & a sally lightfoot. still need to spend $10 more and not sure if i should get another coarl, fish or just inverts. any opinions?

I don't like those sally crabs..too much risk to me..but good luck in whatever you decide..maybe some ricordia..feather duster?What kinds of corals and inverts do you have now? somehow i missed your post
i only just reviewed this post to see how your gsp's were placed. hope the sally dosnt cause me any problems! what do they go after? i got it for some algae control glad i didnt get 2 to make up the $.

ps i wanted the cleaner shrimp, but they are not available yet
sorry, i forgot to answer you q, i have various snails, scarlets, 2 peppermints, 1 cbs, emerald and a couple unidentified hitchhikers which includes 1 MONSTER sized crab (i have another post on that, dont know if you saw it or not)
coarl: a ric, xenia, little bit of colony polyp (most got eaten by something) and a single yellow polyp that survived the murderous night. thats about it, pretty bare. i have been "taking my time"
thanks!

i have been buying the "ravenous" algae eaters cuz i have so much algae. all the different sites say they are reef safe, then after i get them i hear the horror stories. i was gonna get a fighting conch and didnt know if i should get the aquacultured or not so i skipped it and got the snails.
i was looking at the decorator crab also, but wasnt sure, and when posted on the sally nobody else said anything bad and on another website was recommened it.
as for the monster here is a pic, hard to see but you can see the claws on this thing. i was going to use a water bottle trap someone else here recommended but have yet to find one with a big enough mough for him to fit in. now he has moved and i havent seen him in a couple of days.
i think i posted on him when you were on your trip.
thanks for your help:happyfish

thanks waterfaller
and from your reply i am assuming it dosnt matter if the conchs are aquacultured or not, i guess i was leaning towards these because according to this site they are smaller i am concerned about rocks tumbling down if they get under them in the sand bed.
if i dont hear back as i said i will assume it dosnt matter which ones. :happyfish
have a good st pattys day
