amphipod Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 That small guy is a sea slater and are very good at cleaning those are fast as lightning on land lol, did you catch him in the water? Your tank is amazing lol Link to comment
Polarcollision Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Nice! How big is the tank? And how are you cooling it? Considering options for a future reboot... Link to comment
William halligan Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 The sea slater when scared rolls into a ball so all I needed to do was touch him and I could grab him. The tank is 20L or 5gal and I can't really cool it becaus it sits beside a 26 degree freshwater, so open the windows and hope for the best! Link to comment
William halligan Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 cleaning day today! So I'm gonna show off some more, this is my top snail who is better at keeping red macro than I am! And my snakeskin chiton who hides all the time. Link to comment
amphipod Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Lots of cool stuff in the water, how long till you get to scuba diving? Summers running out. Link to comment

William halligan Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 We don't know what he is yet but I have asked the marine studies center and am waiting for a response Link to comment
amphipod Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Be awesome if he's something new Link to comment
William halligan Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 So I found out he is a Painted Shrimp. Link to comment
William halligan Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 He is cooler than most tropical shrimp I think Link to comment
amphipod Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I love the close stripe pattern. Maybe if you find a few more you can try to breed them. Link to comment
William halligan Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 No I can't breed them as I found he is a triplefins main food sorce, so no more shrimp! Link to comment
amphipod Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Aww, thats an unfortunate issue. Sometimes our pets can be bad, like my gorilla crabs. Link to comment
William halligan Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Today I went looking in a different spot than usual and found some cool things; A small hermit crab And two new anemones I'll see if I can find some Latin names Link to comment
William halligan Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 The brown anemone is a Camouflage anemone, Oulactis Muscosa The red anemone is a Red Beadlet, Actinia Tenebrosa And the hermit crab is one of Pagurus what looks to be Pagurus Samuelis but that is an American hermit not generally from New Zealand Link to comment
amphipod Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I like the new pets, hope they work well, I love the red on the anemone really pretty Link to comment
