This is a continuation of my other thread which can be found here.

I added the 14k Phoenix 150w DE HQI bulbs to my light and let me say the tank looks like a new tank! Hence the new thread :biggrin:

Here are some pics.

That tank looks so much bigger than it is.

Could it be the ratio of his live rock to the volume of the tank is on the skimmy side?

That mushroom looks cool-no wonder the clown move away from the old coral! Look at Chief's avater. Wait-it's another fish, too.??? Silly me.

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

Here's the only problem :irked:

He's not hairy like a gorilla crab but he's got pointy black claws and the bastage has already been caught once so he's that much smarter. I am torn, but I think he's a pest crab.

 

[Quang]

B, I dont understand...what has the crab been caught doing?

On a side note: Do you have any hermit crabs in your tank? If so, have you noticed them missing or getting killed off?
Reason I'm asking is because there is a type of crab Panopeus herbstii found in salt marshes with black tipped claws, known for picking on hermits
