Seems to be doing fine.

However bit worried i got 6 ceriths and 6 naussarius snails and ive only seen 1 cerith and 2 Naussarius since they have been in, bit worried....
 
Awww try not to worry, I "lose" my clean up crew all the time, only for them to re-appear a few days later. They're just exploring and finding nice food in the places you can't see, which is exactly what you put them in there to do :good:
 
Its true. I've got the biggest turbo snail I've ever seen and he can go missing for days.

I look in all the places he can fit into, but no sign. Then a few days later he'll be right there!

I honestly think he's the best opponent at hide and seek I've ever had!
 
I lost a Bar Goby for close to 6 days. I thought he'd jumped and my cat ate him. Then one day, this starving Bar Goby is just swimming out in the open water! :blink: So loosing clean up crew for a few days is probably likely. Old snails also die, and become quick snacks for other CUC, like Bristle worms, hermits... :good:
 
Oh nice! LOL i hope they aint died of old age i just bought them :lol:

New issue is the flaming skimmer is leakin in the outlet tube, thght it was a minor issue till i found my carpet was a bit wet :S. Mum is bit worried :sad:
 
Tank looks great!! :good: The best place to get snails etc. is www.reefcritters.co.uk check it out!!
 
Well for the past few days every morning i kept finding my frogspwan coral on the sandbed and i didnt understand why, so i just put it back in the crater.
However last night i went to look in the tank while the lights were off, to find my coral again being moved. To then see this Big crab poking out!

Along time ago i found a crab on some LR i got and caught him but lost him, never saw him since until now which is about 5 months ago! Hes changed in colour and is bigger. Dunno wot has was living on but i remeber loosing a cleanershrimp while on holiday to then find no trace of him :crazy:.

Any who me and my mum got him out and took some pics but cos it was 11pm and we wasent going to a LFS for a long time we had to kill him :unsure:

Here are some pics any ideas what he is? He has got hairy legs and proper red eyes! We accidently broke off one of his pincers in trying to get him out the deep hole. Its not nice i know but it had to be done.

I don't know what it is, but I want too! because I have the same crab hitchhiked into my tank. Hasn't been any bother though, so I left him in.
 
Usually exceptionally opportunistic and not reef-safe
