divecj5 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Wild (and scary) sometimes thinking about all of the creepy crawlies lurking in the dark corners of our tanks sometimes. I remember seeing the 2-4" bristle worm that used to be in my 20H and thinking to myself, "probably shouldn't call the wife in to see this one."

Gena = "Maven of Macro and Isopod Hunter" Ohhhh....I Love "Maven of Macro"!!!!!! Not so much "Isopod Hunter" Bristle worms don't bother me in the least. Never have. Even big ones!!!!! I've never touched one though, so maybe that's the difference. Sooooooo excited to get my Sealife order tomorrow. Not looking forward to having to acclimate critters though. It's amazing how fast 1-2 hours goes, during the acclimation. Link to comment

I dont blame my goby for carpet surfing. Link to comment

gena Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 Good plan. Also: Look for them at night. I just looked about 30 minutes ago...and saw......NONE!!!!!! I have a ton of stomatellas, so everytime I saw one of those, my heart skipped a beat No isopods though (knocks on wood). I'll spy on the tank again right before I go to bed.

gena Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 These gobies are soooo tiny!!!!! And adorable Mr. Bean (the porcelain crab...yeah, I named him already ) is pretty small and cute himself Still floating the gorgs but will put them in soon. Link to comment
Looselyhuman Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 These gobies are soooo tiny!!!!! And adorable How did I miss that you were ordering gobies?!?! What species? Link to comment
gena Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 How did I miss that you were ordering gobies?!?! What species? They are a confirmed mated pair of rusty gobies. They are from the Caribbean. So I shouldn't have to go through the "I'm the boss" stage http://sealifeinc.net/catalog/product_info...products_id=190 Gorgs are in and they are huge! The feather gorg is what I expected, but the other one will not fit, as is, in the spot I intended. I found another spot for it. Soon I will have to trim that one down since it's almost touching the side glass. They also threw in an extra (cuz they are just so cool ). This one I put in my NC12. It's the same type and size I had in there last year. It's like old times again Link to comment

And of course, feel free to send me frags when you start hacking those gorgs!! PIIIIIIIIIIIICS This. Link to comment
divecj5 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Sounds like you added some great additions to your spectacular reef. Can't wait to see how things look soon. Link to comment
gena Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 And of course, feel free to send me frags when you start hacking those gorgs!! This. You got it I'll need to start hacking soon on the one!!!! Here are some quick pics for you guys. FTS showing the new gorgs. I'm sure you can figure out which ones are the new ones. (hint: right side). The lower one sitting horizontally is the one I have to trim. It's way bigger than I expected, but that's ok (NOT complaining ). I'll probably put one of the trim piece toward the top on the right side. That's where I had intended to place that one in the first place FTS 9-5-12: After observing him, the name Mr. Bean just doesn't fit. He's now Captain Morgan or "The Captain" for short. I'll reserve Mr. Bean for another critter He's been fanning the water (eating) everytime I look at him: And finally. One of the muppets. They remind me of little muppets so much!!!!! Looks like they'll spend a lot of time hanging out upside down I'll try to get better pictures of everything, but that's it for now. This is a rush job Link to comment
pyronus Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Those gorgs are looking great! I'm definitely going to buy a few when I put my order into sealife later this month! I love the gobies and porcelain crabs are awesome too. The Captain, haha thats a great name for the little guy. Link to comment
Looselyhuman Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 That is a strong lateral current! And I love it when fish do exactly what the description says they do. Looking good Gena. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 OMG I didn't realize Sealife inc is so close to me! Well, a few hours away, anyway, so I get cheap shipping. And they have Atlantic Deer Cowries!! EDIT: hmm, maybe not cheap shipping. :/ Link to comment
