I just have not had any luck with crabs other than hermits. In the beginning I had a Porcelain crab and a Pom Pom crab die. . I haven't tried since. Quote Link to comment

Sometimes they just die for no apparent reason. I'd give them another try someday if I were you. 1 Quote Link to comment

TinyOcean Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Ok so your worm is oddly adorable but I'm also hoping this is not what's building sticky sand piles in my tank. Quote Link to comment
Friendly Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 well, this was an awesome thread. sad the Creep took leave. perhaps there was an incident between him, the aiptasia and the powerhead. seems that's about the time he disappeared. seems too coincidental to be coincidental. bet you the Xenia called a hit. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
WV Reefer Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 Without The Creep I cannot justify this set up any longer. I tried to renew my interest in this tank but it was set up as a pest tank and the star died. The two hermits and assorted snails were moved to my 75 gallon tank. I busted up Aiptasia Island to liberate the peanut worm that lived with The Creep. He popped right out and is now living in the 75 gallon along with his bristleworm friends. Aiptasia were on the rebound all over the macros so most of everything else was jettisoned. Thanks to everyone who enjoyed The Creep's artwork and hopefully this thread will put a much demonized pest in a new light. 4 1 Quote Link to comment
vlangel Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Ahh WV, I had not been keeping up and am now sad to hear that the Creep is no more. Bummer! You did a great job showing a so called villain in a new light. 1 Quote Link to comment

Maybe now people will at least think twice before tossing them out. Quote Link to comment

Lula_Mae Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 This thread taught me that xenia is a more dangerous potential pest than aiptasia! 1 Quote Link to comment
