[wolvesheart]

PH 8.4-8.6
Alk Low/Normal
NH3/4 0
NO2 0
NO3 10

He is now providing a all you can eat crableg buffet for my hermits. Any harm leaving him in the tank or should I fish him out?

Sorry to hear of your loss. But if he's providing currently for the clean up crew, I would leave it and let them finish.

wolvesheart- You have my sympathies about your arrow... I would be heart-broken if my arrow passed on...

Thanks guys. He was huge, about a 10-12" legspan. He did harass my anenome and now that the arrow is gone the anenome is back on the live rock front and center. And my Big bristle worm comes out during the day again. I have not decided if I will replace it yet.
