The red ones are less prickish when it comes to picking at corals. 4 Quote Link to comment

Red Mithrax and strawberries aren't the same right? We have a big strawberry in both tanks and they eat whatever. Only come out with the lights off. 1 Quote Link to comment

One thing to remember about ANY crab is that they are opportunistic, if it's there and edible, they're gonna eat it. 3 Quote Link to comment

Certain times of day are a no no because the room gets so much light. I’ve been saying for years now that I’ll use the good camera some day but I’m always to lazy to get it out. 😄 2 Quote Link to comment

My camera is probably 10 years old now though, so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. I can't wait til the new light comes this week and I see what good times look like on it. And can actually get the top of my tank without so much electronic garbage on top. I might even be able to get a top down view for once! 2 Quote Link to comment

I just don't use it other than long distance shots anymore.Too much bullshit to load the pics onto IG from the camera. With the phone it's 4 clicks and you're an interwebs sensation. 4 Quote Link to comment

It’s such a pain to drag out the camera, and then set up the tripod....... by that time I’m bored. 😂 1 3 Quote Link to comment
