yeah they look cool, constantly snapping its claw, rarely ever see them though. almost impossible to remove

they are pretty cool looking.

i know what you are saying! i removed a few gorilla crabs and a few mantis shrimp. still have a couple gorilla crabs in the DT, as well as a couple pistol shrimp. none of them really seem to be bothering anything, so i am not going to rip my tank apart trying to catch them.

nice set up. flame angel nip at any corals?

thats pretty much what i thought too, just wanted some reassurance. i mean, they have been in there since Feb and havent really caused a problem yet. maybe a snail/hermit or two, no big deal.

these things seem to move around the tank a lot more than the mantis shrimp did. i set a trap every night for the mantis and finally removed three of them, but never had a pistol shrimp go near the trap. what i really want to know is what risk do they pose? is it worth all the trouble of...

i have successfully removed three mantis shrimp. i have visually confirmed two pistol shrimp. my small fish include a purple psuedo and a scooter blenny. i have seen the pistol shrimp snap at the psuedo, but the psuedo didnt seem to concerned with him. it actually seemed like the psuedo was...

that pic doesnt even look real. pretty crazy though.

i know i have a couple in my tank, how concerned should i be?

i have a purple psuedo and he is a motel citizen. i have a purple tang, yellow tang, & kole tang in my 180g. they co-exist peacefully with the exception of the occasionally flare up by the purple tang (biggest fish in the tank). i have had a kole tang in my previous tanks, and he wasnt really...

i agree 100%. i have a purple (my king of the tank), a yellow, and kole. the kole is the most active. it fun to watch them take turns pecking the algae sheets.

thats what i thought. tahnks everyone for the advice. i would like to go with a more blue color to my tank, i am thinking maybe 14k's. is there any risk of changing kelvin rating (effect on corals)? i would change one bulb at a time, then after a month or so change the next one.

anyone got any cool looking zoos they wanna sell? and i dont mean the $20 per polyp ones! i dont have money like that!

what k temp gives more bluish and what gives you more yellowish?

I will be replacing my MH bulbs for the first time in a few months, so just wondering what the perferred K rating for MH's these days. I have 3 250w 10K's now supplemented with 8 39w T5 Atinics, but I still think the tank could be 'blue-er' when the MH's are on. what do you guys suggest. Kelvin...

sick sick tat! any inspiration from ol skool skater/surfer jay adams?

yeah they are. oh well, scratch that one off the wish list.

i heard that they are cold water fish, but i not that cold. my tank stays 77-79. not gonna work huh?!? i might just go with some fire fish.

anyone keep a school (4 or more) Catalina Gobies? or even just one? thinking about getting one (or more).

my fug has lots of snails and hermits like dave stated. i will post pics later. i never really clean the DSB in the fug, never see any reason to. let it go all natural. i also have 2 inches of live sand in my DT, but it actually a mixture of crushed coral and sand, i really wish it was straight...
