Nice tank... I noticed you have a snowflake eel and shrimp in there. How long have they been in there together? Any problems?
I had a sally lightfoot crab in my 90 gal and added a snowflake eel. I noticed they were fighting over the food right away. During feeding time a few days later, the eel got a hold (bite) of the crab and shook him to death!

Definately well stocked. I would say no more additions actually fish wise. Good looking coraline.
You might want to add another featherduster or two.
No j/k, they look great.
The lagea is ok unless it gets out of control. Does the sailfin or angel eat on it?
Oh and I'm sorry where are my maners. Welcome to swf.com

We have a fire shrimp and coral banded, the eel leaves both of them alone. We keep him well feed. They have been together for about 4 months now.
The emerald crab and decorator crab are mostly active at night.
And YES we a done stocking the tank- NO MORE ADDITIONS.
The sailfin and the coral beauty DONT eat the lagea. They won't even eat the algae sheets. They love mysis shrimp, and formula 1 & 2 cubes.

Nice tank, really like the feather duster rock colony. Did you arrange that yourself or did you purchase the rock with them attached?

We purchased the rock and about 4 months later they all popped out of the rock. We have like 10-12 of them.

Nice tank! I'm setting up a 55 right now and will be excited if it comes out looking anything like yours!

How do you fee the fire/coral shrimp?

They usually grab pieces of the frozen diet that we put in the tank. ( formula 1 and 2 and prime reef) The fire shrimp also STEALS pieces of the shrimp of all things from the eel sometimes.
