I was thinking half way between the north and south

 

[youngfisher]

But that would mean b&b, then it would mean paying?
We could all just invade your house?
And then while your sleeping I could...







Add the 30 cardinals to your tank.

Ok guys - I didnt really sleep last night, my room was pitch black so I thought "I will get my red torch and see whats going on" And OMG! You know the crab I removed, there was another twice its size! It hides in a tiny circle on a rock and it can completly fit in there so you can only just see its shell. It was coming out not leaving its burrow very far, and picking off the rock. I dont have a clue how im going to remove this, as everytime there was a noise in my room he shot straight back into his hole. Any ideas on how to catch him? Also im noticing alot of what looks to be coraline algea, im just hoping it is coraline and not diatoms. And whoah, I hope that Joes Juice hurrys up because everyday I am noticing more and more aiptasia! Ooo, Also I witnessed my clownfish picking off some copepods today so im happy, there are tons of copepods now, and I have like 3 varietys of worms and seriously, some are a good 10 inch. Also, you know how I told you the starfish was on my mushroom? Well now its moved to a different part of the mushroom and whee it was it looks like the mushroom is all "stringy" in a way. Any ideas?

has anyone said about that bottle trap?

 

[youngfisher]

I have heard about people using a bottle trap, not a clue how to do it though, but I have also heard it just catchs the hermits in the tank aswell.

Get an id on the crab I have one with identical behavoir but from id turns out it's a variety of mithrax, it's black with stripy legs unlike the common emeralds.

 

[youngfisher]

The crab has kind of white/light brown spotty squares on his browny/black shell, like a patten running down the middle of his shell. it has decent size claws. and looks like it has red eyes although im not 100% about that one. any ideas people?

YF

 

[Luketendo]

I think most people say red eyes = evil.

 

[seffieuk]

I think most people say red eyes = evil.

Well, if you are shinning a red light in it's face it would have red eyes wouldn't it

[youngfisher]

Thats why I wasnt sure about the red eyes. Is there a website with a list of crabs and pictures that are found in marine tanks?

YF

 

[seffieuk]

I would probably put 'marine crab' into google images and see what comes up
