I suggest another porcelain (maybe a different color variant?) or a pom pom crab! 1 Quote Link to comment

TheRope Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 Hey everyone just a little update here: after losing my porcelain crab ive been researching other interesting inverts for the past little while that would do well with my reef, and ideally i wanted a skink cleaner, so i messaged my lfs and they said they had none. So i we t to check them out in hopes of finding some sexy shrimp (which they always have) aaaaand they didnt have any. But in a tank off to the left they just so happened to have around 20 skunk cleaners of various sizes.... 😂😂😂😂 Welp meet Mr. Mustachio peregrine (not his permanent name but anyways) 4 Quote Link to comment
teenyreef Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I love the look of the new cube! Are you worried about whether the skunk cleaner shrimp will outgrow the cube, though? He will certainly be the star of the show 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment
TheRope Posted May 29, 2018 Author Share Posted May 29, 2018 Thanks for stopping by and im glad you like it! Yeah slightly worried, but when the time comes i will rehome him 🙂 for now he seems to be really enjoying himself ! 2 Quote Link to comment

Nice looking cube! How's your 2gal jar? I've read your thread but many postings are there ....haha (which one is right? post? posting ? I'm not the English user.) Mine is good as well. I have had 10 gal tank. There are living 0ver 50 corals ,1 Dory and 1 Nemo. Today I did water changes and fed them (LPS and fishes). Hope your tank always under a good condition! bye, Quote Link to comment

TheRope Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share Posted June 2, 2018 Heres a neat little experiment i did. I knew with the added feedings (for the shrimp) that I would have a spike in pod, birstle worm populations. This is welcomed in my jar. Therefor, i nade sure to add a piece of sponge filter in the jar a week or so before so that the pods would recognize their new home and breeding grounds. Now my glass and floor is filled with pods of all sorts. Heres a short video of a couple of those pods in the sponge with a cute bristle worm at the bottom (also note all the feather dusters on my mushrooms rock) 2 Quote Link to comment
