My first salt water friend

Peppermint shrimp. Picked this little guy up to cure my aptasia.

Very nice picture. Hopefully, he'll be able to take care of the aiptasia for you.

I have one also. They're quite entertaining!
Don't be alarmed when you see whiteish skin at the bottom of your tank.......He will molt.
Nice Picture

Its really nice to be able to finally watch something in my tank. The Aptasia as far as I can tell is completely gone. Hungry little bugger. Now that the aptasia is gone, will it start to munch on the bits of fish food at the bottom of the tank? The lfs told me they will clean up whatever the fish dont eat and drops to the bottom.

They will do their part, but they'll need help from other critters snails....hermits etc.:yes:

Yea, they can only do so much, and they will only stray so far from the rocks, ya know?

 

[cdn_beaver]

Ive noticed that it stays close to the rocks. I have yet to see him venture out into the open sand on the other end of the tank.

They will rarely stray into a open sand area for long, unless it's feeding time.
Give it some time to adjust and it will be roaming all over.
