I love my LED lights. You can see the coolest/strangest stuff at night. Turn off all the lights in your house and let your eyes and imagination run free. I was just checking on my new red marble starfish cause he rarely moves during the day. He doesn't move but I finally see my coral banded shrimp lurking around. For about 8 minutes he came out of his hiding spot...all day he hangs upside down under one rock, all the time...anyway he comes out and lets his "whiskers or tentacles or whatever they are" caress a piece of lettuce I had clipped to the glass earlier. He crawled out and sort of aimed those whiskers at the lettuce and felt it up, crazy. I thought he was going to try and take a bite.
The light bounces around in the water and as the shrimp is doing this I notice my lawnmower blenny just chilling...as it always does...but next to a rock just below the shrimp as if it's watching him do this. Probably my imagination but it was very fascinating.
I never did see the marble star move but my chocolate chip starfish moved from the sand in the front of the tank to the top of the back glass during this time. Took me awhile to find it...like man, he was just right there.
Also, I could have sworn I saw something creeping by one of my powerheads but never got a good look. I did see worms come out of the rock and only when the night lights were dancing around that particular spot of the rock.
They all seemed so peaceful in there with the lights out. All the fish hiding or sleeping or whatever they do at night cause the only one I saw was the blenny.
Does anyone else do this dark eery night viewing? BTW, I just watched "The Descent". Watching a scary movie before doing this helps your imagination. :scared:
