Hes been in my reef tank since early march or longer and hes about 2 inches long. He looks dark green and his front flipper things are very colorful. I just put the bottle trap in and he was crawling around the opening, when he saw me he scuried away though. I will hopefully catch him today/night. Will anyone in the bay area take him?

I think hes cool but when I look at it him my stomach feels like im on a roller coaster!! I dont know why but he scares me a lot.



DAMNNN He crawled in and grabed the krill before I even had a chance to get off the couch!

Well I will let anyone who wants him know if I end up catching him or not thanks
 
well I saw another one today its a lot smaller and its a reddish color. Still no luck catching them yet. But is there anyone who wants them. I will also ship if no one close wants them
 
Well I have given up on trying to catch them the green one is gone It either got killed by the OTHER TWO that I have :) or It molted and changed color and now its a reddish one that is really big that I have found looks about 3 inches. I also spotted a small one about an inch long that also looks a reddish color I believe they are Neogonodactylus Wennerae They came with my lr from tbs. So far I have been feeding them krill. I have a jar and a net ready on the off chance that they will come far enough out of their rocks and i can grab them.
 
sknich yeah you can have one. I have been trying to slowly get the biggest one comfortable leaving his home by luring him out with krill. He is coming out pretty far. I dont know what my next step is though.
