Fant Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 I believe they are called formaferins or something. They are described in the reef aquarium vol 1. BUt a friend has borrowed my copy so i cant give you a better description. Spelling might be off too. Either way though, i have those things all over and they are harmless filter feeders.

JGoslee Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 What kind of crabs are those? Link to comment
Crakeur Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 those are emerald crabs, they are great for bubble algae and they do get big. I had one that was actually moving things in the tank so I exiled him to the 155 gallon reef. Link to comment
Carinya Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 I think Fant is correct on his ID. They are called foraminiferans and here are a few links: http://www.reefs.org/hhfaq/pages/picture_p...q_foramred.html http://www.reefs.org/hhfaq/pages/main_page...s/faq_rock3.htm (most of the way down the page) Carinya Link to comment
