Snow_Phoenix Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 How big is your halloween urchin? The guy said if I get it, it will probably starve after eating the algae I have now. Guess I need a bigger, dirtier tank =P. Around 3" across. I've kept this urchin before and it lasted a solid year. He was always cleaning the glass and once I mistakenly fed him a piece of mysis. He seemed to love it. I supplement mine with regular amounts of seaweed, btw. So maybe that helps? Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Found one of the anemone shrimp in the 3rd back chamber during a water change today. Sneaky little buggers. It took a good 30 mins to get him out and it was all luck that I spooked him enough for him to jump out and back into the tank. Link to comment

Is it the Sexy shrimp or the white spotted nem ones? Link to comment

Snow_Phoenix Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I got two white spotted anemone shrimp and one pedersen anemone shrimp. They are TINY. I had a white spotted nem shrimp named Arra that was with me for almost 2 years. She started out from 0.5" to 1.5" within that time before passing away. Very beautiful shrimp with personality. She always 'danced' on my Goni. I've been trying to find a replacement ever since, but so far haven't been successful. Link to comment

Snow_Phoenix Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I got mine from KPA. Definitely recommend them. Ah, Ninja - but you forget. I'm not from the US, lol. Currently located opposite side of the world. I'll have to put in an order, but right now I'm juggling between training a dragonet to slowly managing three marine tanks (1 QT) and one freshwater tank, so I'm worried I won't be able to devote much time to the little fella yet. Once everything stabilizes and I can transfer my livestock over to the 16G (hopefully end of the next month), then perhaps I'll order a pair. Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Finally got a good pic of the white spotted anemone shrimp. They are so tiny and hard to photograph. I caught this one on top of the rock so he was only about 1 inch from the water surface. https://flic.kr/p/q1U5GU'> Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 I am hoping one of them will host the maxi mini or RFA or rics but they been all over the tank. Link to comment
skyscraper2290 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Did you order them online or find them locally? Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Did you order them online or find them locally? Got them from http://www.kpaquatics.com/ . I have pics of the gorgs and a sponge I got from them in my Fluval Spec thread. They are really great and threw in a free pedersen shrimp for me. So in total, I have two white spotted anemone shrimp and one pedersen. Link to comment
teenyreef Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I love that shrimp and the picture is awesome! I can't help wondering how many rejected pictures were on your memory card before you got this one Link to comment
D Z Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Awesome shot of the white spot. Do you have a cleaner shrimp too? Just wondering if the anemone shrimp do ok with a cleaner in the tank as well. Link to comment

Just wondering if the anemone shrimp do ok with a cleaner in the tank as well. No cleaner shrimp in this tank. I do have a scarlett red hermit crab but KPA say they should be fine. I have a cleaner shrimp in my Fluval Spec. Link to comment
