Hell this hobby isn't cheap Look at it this way a 18 pack of beer is 16 for the cheap stuff or 18 for a good 12 pack..........I don't mind spending a few bucks once a week for a shrimp the little guy is cheaper than mu kids 1 Quote Link to comment

spectra Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share Posted June 2, 2017 Well the little guy is pissing me off................ he found a nice hole in the pukani and well moved in..........only way to see him now is from a top down view with the pump off.........lame.........hoping that he comes out as I invited a couple small green chromis over for dinner I even tore the tank apart and turned the rock upside down.........nope he wouldn't budge out of there. Tank looks like shit now and crap everywhere.........did take a quick shot before though. 6 Quote Link to comment

I want to see the little guy when I walk by the tank.......not have to go commando and pull out a light and stalk him Thanks! it looked ok until I turned the rock upside down hoping he would fall out.........tank is a mess now. 2 Quote Link to comment
SeaFurn Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Oh I get that. A couple of my anemones have now moved to the back side of the rocks - can't even see them. I got another one that's sitting on top of another. And one that's folded itself into the crevice of a rock. It's like only half of them are behaving. This week's FTS may be kinda lame! 5 Quote Link to comment
spectra Posted June 3, 2017 Author Share Posted June 3, 2017 Well decided today to evict the little turd out of the rock.................yeah I am an asshole I was worried he was kind of stuck in there and well no way toget some food so..................pulled the rock out and went to town rock looks nothing the same now........no hidey holes now........ And just for reference this guy is small maybe an inch long if that.
