Hey got2envy, you have a cute tank there. The crab has me worried a bit however. I would keep an eye on him/her. If it has black claws it's usually bad, it my pick at corals and eat the tissue. I am not a fan of crabs in reef aquaria, with the exception of a few species. Keep us posted on the crab :D

I watched your video of the crab just now, likely an acro crab of some variety, although is rare to see them on sand like that. Here's a picture of one of three acro crabs I pulled off my acropora coral a few months ago. All three were eating the tissue off the coral so they had to go:

Some of the damage done:

This is where they spend most of their time:

Note the black claws and hairy body. The size is approximately 5mm diameter, about the size yours looks to be.

Thanks! I did look at the claws and if you watch the video you will see that they are tiny and not the big black tipped claws...the only reason I gave it a chance lol I have seen him since hanging on the rocks and picking...I will keep a very close eye on it! :)

Love your scape - makes the tank look way bigger than a 3!

 

I agree. I would never think this was a 3 gallon. It looks very beautiful so far Maria!

I'm not smoozing for a frag, I just think it's beautiful! I saw them at WorldWide and was so shocked at how pretty they are, but then, so was most everything else in there!

I'll smooz for a frag! Seriously when you frag that guy hit me up... it's gorgeous.

 

Love the tank too, it looks way bigger then I'm sure it is.

 

Does that pearl macro do anything beneficial or does it just look nice?

Link to comment

I know you not smoozing Rog...I want to give you a frag :P now hirschy...he's smoozing :lol:

Let's see what happens, the original colony it came from was fairly big..he had it for about a year and a half and grew it from a frag about the size of the one in this tank..I will prob have to move it to my 40g eventually.

The macro is just pretty...I am sure it is sucking up some nitrates too.

 

Thanks guys!
