Yes, its LIVE rock.
Hey all,
Ive wanted a pair of harlequin shrimp for some time, and been quite a lurker when it comes to it. I finally decided to actively search for one (obviously waiting for one to fall into my lap wasnt working for me...)
I called logical reef, they had 3 in stock from the day before's shipment and two were hanging out together! yay! a pair. I consulted maryG about logical reef and everything seemed safe, so I picked up my pair last week!
36.00 ea, over 1", one male, one female... the lfs guy said he could see eggs on the female but I havent confirmed this.
They came with the choc. chip star he had just thrown in there for them to chow on.
Heres there first pics! They dragged thier star into a cave and have been hiding out since then. I saw yesterday that they still have 2.5 legs and a oral disc to go.. but they are surely chomping down.
Two of my larger serpent stars are hanging out right under them and eating all the scraps the shrimps drop... its kind of odd... like a cow eating a burger.. but whatever lol
any comments or stories about your own harlequins are surely welcome.
Im trying to get more information about what people are feeding thiers (like what type of star) and how often.
Also, do you think mine will come out of the cave once they have consumed the star? I hope so... otherwise I might set them up a tank of thier own just so I can see them more often.
They are curently in my 24g AP LPS reef. Im terrible at full tank shots but if by some chance I snap a good one, Ill post it so you can see thier home
