Just to add a quick note on the horseshoe thing... I live literally across the street from the ocean. I have all my life, and where I live we get them. Now I cant say about tropical crabs, if there is a difference (I dont think) but the ones that we get are huge and I never understood how you could keep one. The ones we get here are literally from point to blunt end of shell 2+ feet and at least a foot across.

Love the Foxface. Hey, Goodwin, did you happen to see my post under "Fish Discussion"? It is about an Atlantic Blue Tang.

I managed to get a couple of pics of two of the Emerald Crabs either fighting over a coral, or playing king of the hill....

fighting crabs! definitely a cool pic! It's like the one by the coral was saying - HEY this is my spot! get out of here!

Thats awesome!! I only have one emerald and he climbs all my trees at night to make sure nothing is in them. I have no idea why, but as soon as the lights go out, up he goes, all the way to the top until it bends over. No harm done.

My adding machine quit working a couple of months back. Looking at my credit card statement makes me wonder...

Thank you! No Powder Blues, I just haven't been able to keep them. I had to move the Achillies to my 210. He was getting chased by a number of different fish and getting all stressed out. Not sure if I will try and move him back, or leave him in the 210 where he is doing much better.
I was surprised myself at the pictures of the emeralds, wished all my pictures turned out like those.....

Hmm, good to know...I think I had a "freak" Achilles, lived 7+ years in an aggressive tank as the undisputed "alpha" with 2 triggers (huma, niger), a bigger Naso, Lunare, & Queen Angle....never had a Powder Blue, just think they are beautiful....Rock Chalk Jayhawk...

Goodwin, have you ever had any luck with an Atlantic Blue Tang? I was thinking about adding one but I heard they do not do will in Aquariums. Love the Angels, I have never seen those before.

Your tank looks very nice! I think you should add more smaller fish. Like get about 20-30+ Blue Reef Chromis, i think it will look very very nice if you add the Blue Reef Chromis, and they will be schooling around your big reef tank. Well, good luck with your BIG reef tank!
