Re: Gorilla Crab
Last night we spotted the creature in question and the live rock on which he lives. I imeadiately pulled the rock and put it in the sump. The uh crab? was hiding deep down in a hole but this morning I spotted him with a flashlight. I snapped a few pictures. The flash didn't...
Re: Gorilla Crab
It's a shame they aren't reef safe. That's one wicked looking crab. I'm going to try to get a picture of the crab in my tank when I get back in town.
Re: Gorilla Crab
Thanks, I'll look more closely at it next time he is visible. I haven't really done my aquascaping as I'm waiting to find some pieces of live rock. When I do the final work I guess I'll have to find the crab and put him in the sump (or fuge if I get that far) then
Re: Gorilla Crab
My searches haven't been truning up much, but in this picture the author claims it is a gorrila crab. My crab looks a lot darker, more grey in color and possibly even more hairy. Maybe what I have is not a gorrila crab at all? I hardly ever see him so getting a picture might be...
How bad are these things? I've had one who hitched a ride on some live rock and has been in my aquarium since the first tank. He's managed to live through some pretty tough times. I actually thought he didn't survive the amonia spike a few months back but I spotted him the other night, and he's...
I travel a lot, I'm in Vegas until at least Sunday right now, then there is some other traveling in the works. I'll let you know when I have some free weekends and just play it by ear if that's ok with you.
John, Seriously, I'd like to take you up on that. Jackson isn't too far from me and I have some friends in the area. Could make a dual purpose trip. Thanks!

Can anyone ID this thing? Could it be some sort of SPS?
I found this sponge. How rare is it to find sponges in reef aquaria?
Sump aquascape
Can you see the little red worm? Can anyone ID it?
According to Mel's Reef:
"Bristleworms are blamed for everything negative that occurs in reef tanks, but they are actually very good clean up detrivores. Count on them to find excess food missed by your fish, and expect to see many of them at night with a flashlight. They are often found on...
Hi Nick, Thanks. I've put a lot of time into it.
That tank has only been up for a few months and the sump for even less time. I made a big mistake when I switched over to that sump, I cold cut and used the pump from the old small sump. The amonia spiked and killed almost everything. Doh! In...
Bill, I spent plenty of time on the 11 meter band as well. Nothing to be proud of or ashamed of, but I was also making money repairing and modifying CB's for the local yocals at that time. I still have equipment from 10-15 years ago that people never returned to pick up. You don't need code to...
Thanks for the warm welcomes.
Ed, Yeah that's the 100 gal tub. My spillway only keeps the water at a little over 40 gallons though. That is stock tank vesion 1.0, I'll do some things differently on the next one. Including stronger partitions and more capacity (60 gallons would be nice). I find...
