This rock is becoming an entire ecosystem. There are pods, worms, brittle stars and one mussel living on the rock with the GSP. . 😊 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I think I'll be ordering from KPA since they ship overnight to minimize dieoff. I am glad to be getting rock from the ocean again. 1 Quote Link to comment

Almost. 😄 3 Quote Link to comment

I am not a snake fan and they got so big so fast I was never happy having them in there no matter how good a cleaner they are. And the jar is blissfully worm free too. 1 Quote Link to comment

I like peanut worms... I think they are cute. Quote Link to comment

I love watching these tiger pistols rearrange the entire sand bed. You’re right about their activities being funny and interesting. And we have that Scarlett shrimp too but he’s not as outgoing as The Red Baron was.

My wrasse’s mouth isn’t big enough to do anything to either shrimp. (Yet) 1 Quote Link to comment

I’ve not had very good runs with the larger shrimp. Sexy shrimp have lived forever though. 2 Quote Link to comment
WV Reefer Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 This iteration of the tank is now over. The bad crab was long ago washed and dried 🤭 and the large chunk of Branching GSP has been shipped off full of worms and brittle stars to @Lula_Mae hopefully everyone survives the trip. 😊 the tank is back in the closet waiting for the next pest to need a home. 2 3 Quote Link to comment
