really not sure what this guy is, looks like a cross between a crab, frog and maybe a kangaroo! (it has a "pouch" on its belly that opens up)

Nice green flower nem. Epicistus crucifer. Some yellow and red tree sponges. Red and orange lobed sponges, couple of gorgonians, and a flame scallop. Expect the nem to maybe move around until it is happy, and probably darken up a bit under the brighter lights. Cool stuff.

Thanks!
The smaller nem has been moving around, alot! if you look at my 3rd to last pic you can see it behind the tree spunges, i got it on the net and moved it up front to a corner of one of the rocks, now its down by the big one up front.

Any idea on the crab/frog looking critter, he has what looks like some yellow sponge on him and is just kind of acting like a lookout on one of the rocks.

Thanks

Flame scallops are great. I fed mine phyto on a regular basis when my tank was newer just to make sure he had enough to eat.

Mine found a dark cave he stayed in most of the time. Great addition to your tank.

The crab is most likely a decorator crab. Really fun to watch them start stealing pieces of algae, sponge, rocks etc. and start wearing them as a suit.

My first thought was that it's a sally light foot crab... but I reserve the right to be wrong!

that's what I thought when I saw the crab picture.

The blurry crab with the really skinny legs is an arrow crab I bet. The bigger one (hiding under the sponge in a couple pics) looks to be a decorator crab.

 

[tuc2]

Thanks! I have never seen a decorator that big before so I wasnt sure. The arrow crab(?) is pretty cool he just kind of hangs and stares at anything moving yesterday he was all over the place though.

Thanks

Hi, first off, nice anemone!

The crab with the seaweed attached: I have one in my tank (from gulf as well) that is the same size and has seaweed attached also. Might be a decorator crab but I always thought they were bigger. Its not a spider crab and I don't think and arrow crab either (arrow crabs usually have a pointer nose). Probably some sort of decorator crab I guess. I usually just feed mine a little shrimp pellet once every other day. He'll grab onto it and eat it for the next few minutes before dropping it.

The crab with the pouch looks more like a decorator to me but thats just my opinion.

Looks like you got a tube or cup coral! Those are really cool when they come out. They like to come out at night (at least for me) so you might be able to place them in a dark cave and get them out all the time. You might want to feed them also, just squirt some fish food/brine shrimp on them or something. Nothing complicated.

Congrats on some awesome rock!
