Yep afraid of those too. I know its kind of pathetic lol. I was at work last week and a black widow on the wall while I was walking by and I probably jumped 20 ft lol. It was horrible.

Just a little lol

 

 

Yea crabs dont bother me... just spiders. Its just an irrational fear lol. Thats why i hate camping cause there are just too many damn spiders.

You do know there are spiders literally everywhere right? You've probably swallowed some in your sleep...

very true, at least 1-2 swallowed by now lol

 

well black widows are something to stay away from, so I can recognize your body's choice to stay 20 ft away :lol:

I have seen ones like that in my basement... prolly not the same species, but the same body plan and likely size.

 

ok, enough scaring gritchie lol, we should talk about his tank.

I'd hope not. Brown recluse spiders are highly dangerous! :haha:

right, but it sounds like people have varied reactions to the venom and generally it is not crazy potent. therefore i guess mine are not that species, but the ones i find sometimes are around 2" maybe slightly larger. reclusive spiders are supposed to be small.

looking good as you say

Thanks man.

 

One of the sexy shrimp is getting on my last nerve. No matter how much I freed him he always is munching on my zoas. If it keeps up he is going back to the lfs. Damn shrimp.

I finally caught the last of the sexy shrimp that was in my tank literally 5 mins ago. I had three and then I couldn't handle all the coral munching so I decided to exile them to my gf's tank. The third one was too fast to catch and he was the worst at eating my stuff. Today I got home and he was picking at my sps. I finally got him out thank god! I really hope you have better luck with them. Your tank is looking awesome btw! You have some good looking zoas, I wouldn't want the sexies to eat em all. Keep up the good work.

Get a bunch of zoas first so they will have something to eat. I think its just the bigger shrimp cause he is always on the zoas. The other one just chills on the mushrooms.

I'd probably get get a maxi-mini for them to eat off...and try feeding 'em. Are you feeding them anything?
