Anemone Crab in Sun Corals (pic heavy)

[mollymonticello]

I've had him since June, he is one of our favorite critters. He just started hosting my sun polyps a few weeks ago, he even chases away intruders like my skunk cleaner shrimp! Sorry for the enormous pics.

:lol: I need a bigger screen! J/K!!!!

Very cool picture! What kind of lighting do you have on that tank?

 

[mollymonticello]

Hi Carole! I am off work today. I needed it.

It's a T5 light. This was when the actinics were on, and the last two are with the flash. I know, I edited this like 3 times trying to figure out how to get a thumbnail on here that would blow up. Oh well.

Oh, they look really good! I was just giving you a hard time! I hope you're being more productive than I am!

Are you running a skimmer on this tank?

 

[mollymonticello]

I adore this crab. He recognizes me and feeds directly from the syringe, I kid you not.

No, I do not run a skimmer. I have a skimmer, but it won't fit on the tank with the canopy. But that's probably why my gorgonians and filter feeders are doing so well. My nitrates run about 10 or 15 ppm, but no one seems to suffer for it. I even have a few SPS frags (not acros) that grow like weeds.
