Less than two weeks in the cube and the Xenia is on the move.  The Creep has been using some of it and the rest has a mind of its own.

Sooo glad!!

 I always thought it sent out runners or something.  I didn't know it would just let go and fly around in there.  We'll see how it does with the aiptasia. 

I love the red feather dusters too!  If The Creep ever cuts them loose I may move them out of there..

I was doing a water change and knocked the feather duster rock off aiptasia island...... The Creep was not happy.

 

It allowed me to see how much work he had done to secure the duster rock to his rock. Sometimes I see threads like a spiderweb connecting things together but this was more solid.... like a thin sheet of plastic.

None of the pictures I took were good enough to see it but his engineering skills are crazy. 

 

Here are a couple close ups of feeding time this morning:

what an interesting creature

 

glad you gave this "pest" his own tank, so cool

 I would love at some point to capture his decorating on camera...... the way he moves things is just amazing to me.

The Creep has been quite the loner lately so no updates on him.  

 

The Xenia has been in there almost a month now and it currently is outperforming the aiptasia.

The giant "mother" aiptasia actually moved over to make room. 

 

The Dragons Breath is getting bigger and some of the other macros are sprouting back to life after The Creep tore them up.

I had some catching up to do on ' the creep'.  I am happy to find the creep and its exhibit tank to be doing quite well.

The Creep hasn't showed his face much lately.....even for food.  It's not unusual to not see him for awhile but it's been longer than normal.

 

A few nights ago I tore the "front door" he created off the rock to see if he would come to repair it but he hasn't showed up. :unsure:

Dang it, that was not the update I was hoping for when I started catching up on this thread. I hope he shows up!

 

Me too.  I'm attached to the little weirdo.

Last night I searched the cube again and found no signs of The Creep.  He has not come out to eat and has not repaired any of the "doors" I tore off his rock.  Unless he has sealed himself up inside his rock, I think he may be gone.  

 

After my search I cleaned out all of the "free floating" Aiptasia and dropped some Berghia in to help knockdown the rest to a manageable level.  I also added some tiny snails and two tiny hermits to help clean things up.  

 

If The Creep is no longer around I think I may use @Weetabix7's 4 gallon as inspiration and put some more macros in.......  The Dragons Breath has been doing great in there.
