thanks Marc
I first looked at this picture and thought "Man that's a huge bristle worm under the lobster", then I realized it's a leg of the serpent star that hangs out in that cave.
the cave shown is the major opening to a hollow rock made from lace lava rock and DIY portland cement / rock salt. The rock is pretty much center of my tank and covers the closed loop suction. The feet of the rock are DIY and extend to the bottom of the tank for stability as it also anchors the arch rocks. The inside of the cave is fairly large as the Lace Lava Rock was only about 1/2 -3/4" thick and bowl shaped to start with.
A mated pair of Banded Coral Shrimp and that serpent star claim the space as home.

they are considered reef safe with caution
they are opportunistic feeders that usually come out at night
if you have small bottom dwelling fish, they may make a nice meal. We blammed the loss of a couple fire fish to him. He will come out (sometimes) durring feeding time but if he sees anyone he imediatly darts back into his cave. I know he eats snails, but thats no big deal.
He's pretty cool, and my wife really gets a kick out of him when she drops pellets in front of his cave. He will usually venture out with those big claws up and small pinchers are busy going 90 miles an hour picking up the pellets.

i think its beautiful
in fact an animated gif of him moving those small claws at 90 miles an hour could possibly be the greatest avatar of all time

thanks - that would be cool - I have a couple shots I took when I got this one. I'll have to check his mini claw positions and see if it can be done

I found another original coral picture from about a year and a half ago
I'm pretty sure this is a Chips acro (at least that's what the guy I bought it from said). First; this pic is from early 2007, after I had it a couple months
(sorry for the poor picture quality)
and here it is about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 years later
