That's 33% off. Of course you'd have to buy more stuff to spread out the shipping costs (or have a $99 order to get free shipping). But at those prices, you might as well get the color you are looking for. 2 Quote Link to comment
SaltyBuddha Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Oh man, sorry to hear about the invert losses! I've wanted to look into a gorgonian but I keep reading that they are hard to care for. They do look really cool tho Hope the feather duster comes back too. Do you know how long it takes to grow new feathers? If that is what the crown is called? 1 Quote Link to comment

I did see that one and considered it but I worry it'll be hard to see against the black sand. 1 hour ago, SaltyBuddha said: Oh man, sorry to hear about the invert losses!

Do you know how long it takes to grow new feathers? If that is what the crown is called? I think it depends on the gorg, my little cactus gorg frag has done fine and had two day shipping. The other Hicksomella sp. gorg has come back nicely as well, and the two tiny gorg frags are ok too. Wonder if it's related to size of the frag? I did notice they have some squat lobsters in regular stock and am considering one. Quote Link to comment

Thunder Goose Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 So jelly! I really liked mine till the [previously undiscovered] mantis shrimp ate it. The mantis shrimp has been rehomed so I may have to keep an eye out for another one... I need to re-stock the nano now that the mantis is gone. 1 Quote Link to comment

I've gotten to enjoy them a lot as all I've ever had is picos! These guys are tiny though, this one is only an inch! That's smaller than the yellow one was, smaller almost than a pom pom! 6 Quote Link to comment
Lula_Mae Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 The little guy came! He's tinier than the other was but his arms are much longer. When I opened the bag, his claw arms were straight up like "DON'T COME ANY CLOSER!" I did get a picture of him that night in the tank but forgot to upload it. Of course I haven't seen it since lol. Hope it and the pom pom are getting along! I need to update pics on this. I added the two green ricordea I got from Gulf Coast Ecosystems and a sprig of sargassum that I need to tie to a rock (rics are in a cup with rock rubbles). The stringy brown algae stuff continues but I think it's getting a little better. Continual removal and scrubbing helps lol. Probably will peroxide the rocks carefully soon. Added some zoas from the other tank, the bubblegum pinks, punk princesses, and blondies from Legendary Corals. I killed the purpleberry fantasies with the peroxide dip. 8 2 Quote Link to comment
vlangel Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 He is adorable for a pico but if I saw him in my bathroom, he'd be terrifying LOL. (He looks kind of like a banana spider). 1 2 Quote Link to comment

There would be screaming and squashing lol. 1 Quote Link to comment
gena Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Hahaha...my husband was standing behind me and said...what's with the spider? I was like, that's NOT a spider, it's a crab . Technically it's a "lobster", but it doesn't look like a lobster to me. The white and black is so cool!!!! 5 Quote Link to comment

debbeach13 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Looking so much like a spider. A evil dark, creepy spider. It just looks like trouble to me. It will be interesting to learn about it. 1 Quote Link to comment
