Crakeur Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 So, the purple lobster that someone pawned off on me has decided to redecorate my tank on a daily basis. I move stuff, it moves stuff back. In the process, it has destroyed several different shroom and polyp colonies. Gone are my purple shrooms, red shrooms, green shrooms, some kind of bizarre giant hard mushrooms and one of my two gsp colonies. Draging things across the polyps, pinching the shrooms etc. has taken it's toll. Sadly, the gorgonias that I was going to bring this sunday have taken a beating. Might still have one, if it doesn't get worse. Also gone, one of my three montipora frags, the biggest and nicest one. Lastly, Satch, you won't like this one. The ricordia that I was holding for you has either died or been buried in regions unattainable by my oversized hands. I do have one out in the open and, if it isn't attached to my rock, I will be bringing that for ya. Now, if I could only snag the lobster, I would be bringing that along as well. Link to comment
printerdown01 Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 I have heard of lobsters and pistols being a pain but never ANYTHING like this! I say lobster scampi (too small to have tail) is sounding like a good idea right now. Feel bad for you, cause he woud have made a striking addition to the tank! This is how I felt with my damn zebra hermit... I found that guy a new home as fast as I could!! Link to comment
Crakeur Posted October 25, 2002 Author Share Posted October 25, 2002 unfortunately, I am sort of attached to the little bugger. He is purple and orange and a real pretty site. He leaves my fish alone and only comes out at night and when I feed the tank. Alas, if he keeps redecorating, I will be forced to have a small snack. Link to comment
Satchmo Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 No worries Crak. I actually have a blue-green ricordea, so don't go out of your way. As of yet, no evil lobsters have damaged your xenia or capnella Link to comment
Crakeur Posted October 25, 2002 Author Share Posted October 25, 2002 Cool. I still have one of those montipora frags (encrusting kind, sort of cool). Might have other stuff too, I hope. Link to comment
