Squared Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 But eventually I'm sure I'll thrown some sexies and a pom pom. In a while, though. Link to comment
Squared Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 So I ordered a bumblrbee shrimp pair last night, but I'm still thinking about sexies. I think Imay go with sexies. I need a final decision. Link to comment

weeber Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 man i want to know how ur bumblebees do because i want a pair for my pico. Link to comment
Squared Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 Sexies or bumbles! Both good shrimp, can't decide... Hows reserch on emperor shrimp coming along animalmaster6? Nic prawn goby, BTW. A pair of bumbles should look nice. But I think I will go with sexies so I can have more variety. After all, bumble bees are related to harlequins. I'll try to add more pics tomorrow. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 It's doing all right. Got a few PM's. One nice person had a tank with an Emperor Shrimp and he didn't have a host slug/nudi. Tank was smaller than a 125G though lol. Sexies are awesome! Link to comment
Squared Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 Sorry but know pics, using different computer. Still need to contact LFS about sexies. Tell me if you want to see anything specific about my tank. And tomorrow at best I will try to start another thread of my 12g reef with lots of more pictures. I want it to be an LPS and zoa/paly reef, with some rics. Link to comment
Squared Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 More pics: The shrimp sure do like thier sea stars... When I go to the LFS this weekend I am going to cancel my order of bumblebes and a blue porcelin crab and order 3 sexy shrimp. Or I can get a pom pom crab. Which one? There are just so many inverts to chose from. Any information on squat lobsters apreciated. Link to comment
pillowpantss Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Hey, just wanted to say I love your tank. I have the same taste for inverts as you, I love them and think they are the coolest things in to watch. Had a few questions sense I have been interested in keeping harlequim shrimp for awhile now. Do you keep the choc star fish in the back at all times? If so, do you just cut off a leg everytime you want to feed it to your shrimp? How often do they consume an entire star? If you have any other helpful info please share!! Thanks! Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Great Pics! I would truly get the Porcelain Crab. They are really cool!! Squat Lobsters host Crinoid Feather Stars. I don't know how they do without one. Link to comment
Squared Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 Maybe I will just get a porcelin crab, since they are cheap, and save some money for harlequin food. Yah I keep the sea stars in the back chamber at all times. I cut the sea stars' legs off every 3 days, and wait a day or 2 to give the shrimp more. My shrimp are actually pretty new, so they have not eaten a whole sea star yet. Link to comment
Squared Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 Planning on moving my tiger pistol in here. Too much of a bother in my reef. The harlequins and the sea stars will be moved to my reef. I have a feeling this is going to be a difficult process. So how do I capture a pistol shrimp? Will I need to take my damsel back to the fish store, or can he eventually get used to another fish's presence? So this tank may soon be my shrimp's constuction site. Link to comment
Squared Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 Look for a tiny red hitchhiker crab. How do you know if a sea star is dead? Hitchhiker paly. Link to comment
violinist Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 They will eat all the star before it can foul your tank. I've tested my water religiously while the shrimp was eating, there was never an ammonia spike and when the shrimp was done there was nothing left. Link to comment
Squared Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 Interesting. Seems like the shrimp are efficient eaters. Link to comment
thegambler26 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 What kind of algae is that pink stuff youve got? where did u get it from? Looks cool and would add some nice color to my tank Link to comment
Squared Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 The algea is halymenia, and I found it as a hitch hiker. Same with the halemeda. Try to cultivate any kind of hitchhiking macro you see, you never know what you are going to get. Link to comment
Diskusting Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 what a unique setup, definitely an awsome idea. Link to comment
