Got the OK from Chris to use the nano-reef name/logo on the sexy shrimp badge! Have to stop at my LFS after work to talk to him about picking up some snails for my tanks, might take a while.

I'll work on the sexy sig this evening some time! Might make a version for harlequin shrimp and perhaps other specialty creatures if anyone would like.

A harlequin and pom pom crab one would be great.

I'll see what I can do ^_^

Hmm, I could leave the text the same and only change the picture, which would still make it for the sexy shrimp club, but I don't know about not having the sexy shrimp on it.

I was thinking of actually changing the text to "Harlequin Shrimp" and or whatever else someone might want one for (as well as the image).

Thoughts?

How about that one? Is the nano-reef logo too much? Doubt anyone will use this outside of nano-reef...was thinking I should make it smaller and move it somewhere else.

Or that one?

Lalani

Sep 17 2008, 10:44 PM

I like the first one better, the nano-reef logo gets a little too blurry in the second one. Good work, creepo.

I'll have to clear some room in my sig to add it!

Seiryoku

Sep 17 2008, 10:51 PM

Oops, bad resize on that layer made it blurry. Fixed it.

Still like the first one better?

Lalani

Sep 17 2008, 10:58 PM

Ooooh, I like 'em both. I think the generic one is just fine for anybody to use. It doesn't look like too many people are going eager to add one to their sig.

Seiryoku

Sep 17 2008, 11:03 PM

Well those that don't want to use it (and keep sexy shrimp) suck!

Hows about this?

Sep 17 2008, 11:10 PM

We'll go with that one for now then. I'm starving, need to go get something to eat

It still has a transparent background...if you link it to this thread there will be a funky dotted line going through it (actually behind the image, put there by the forum software for some odd reason).

I'll fix it after I eat...probably...

The ones you took were great too! I really like the first and fourth ones.
And why did you let Daniel kill the xenia????

I didn't let him, he just can't keep the stuff alive. Actually I don't think he killed it at all I think it was a sealent I had used to make a slide didn't seal properly and I think it caused chemicals to get in the water that killed it. Although it was the only thing that looked peeved.

Lalani

Sep 18 2008, 01:50 PM

Aw, well that stinks. Why haven't you gotten any more?

arwndsh

Sep 18 2008, 01:55 PM

Because the stuff I see is either really expensive or well its not attractive. I prefer the type that gently pumps its hands.

Lalani

Sep 18 2008, 01:58 PM

Yeah, I know what you mean. They generally charge around $35 per STALK around here...

I got the stuff I had for $5 at a frag swap. Hopefully I'll find a local reefer that wants to get rid of some.

Seiryoku just posted in the sexy thread in the lounge that to use the banner and be part of the club you have to have 3 sexies.

I only have two.

Lalani

Sep 18 2008, 02:16 PM

Lol! Well, I think as long as you have at least one sexy shrimp, you can use the banner.

Seiryoku

Sep 18 2008, 03:19 PM

If you have at least one it is cool :-p Only said three for the crazy lounge peoples.

Any way to tell if my sexy is hungry ?

Lalani

Sep 18 2008, 07:32 PM

Present a piece of food to it, if it takes it, it's hungry.

Do you think 2 or 3 sexy shrimp would co-exist peacefully with a peppermint shrimp in a 4 g nano? Or should I stick to one or the other?

Lalani

Sep 21 2008, 02:24 PM

I really don't see why not, but 4 gallons is kinda small for a pep shrimp, imo. I know mine likes to venture all over my 20gal. tank.

I recently added a peppermint shrimp in my pico with two sexies and they get along swimmingly.

Hello all,

Just a few questions, how much do these go for? They seem fairly expensive because of how incredibly awesome they are! Also, are they really called sexy shrimp? or is that just a term used around here?

Lalani

Sep 29 2008, 10:59 AM

Hi DH! The prices for sexy shrimp differ. Locally, for me, they run around $25. For others they are around $10 locally and usually around $10 online. And yes, 'sexy shrimp' or 'sexy anemone shrimp' is their common name. Thor amboinensis being their scientific name. On the first post of this thread, there is a list of names for them.

Seiryoku

Sep 29 2008, 11:51 AM

Wow, they really go for $25 in your area? Mean LFS people... I got mine for $9 each >_<

Lalani

Sep 29 2008, 11:53 AM

Yeah, the LFSs around here charge outrageous prices for everything...... That's why I like trading/buying here on NR.

Hello! im sooooo excited i finally ordered my Sexies and will be coming by the 2nd week of October! can i be an official member of the sexy club once they come? Also i have a dotty back and i have heard that it might bully my sexies. Should i get rid of him?

Seiryoku

Sep 29 2008, 12:13 PM

Of course you can be in the club! Can't help you with your dotty back question though.

I really don't know about the dotty back, as I have no experience with them. I'll see if I can find any info about them bullying small shrimp.

Thanks Lalani. Mine is a diadem dottyback to be exact.

Lalani

Sep 29 2008, 01:05 PM

Hmmm, not finding much information about dottyback/sexy shrimp compatibility, but I suppose that the time in which the sexies might be in the most danger would be during molting periods.. Does the dottyback seem aggressive or territorial?
