  1. hey guys...

    I need to decom my 4ft tank. Something is wrong with the system and some of my not so hardy fish have died.

    I've kept these fish for more than a year and don't want to see them die.

    Looking for a better home for them.

    1 Pastel Green Wrasse. ( becoming thin. Needs a new home fast. )

    1 adult size Bangai Cardinal

    1 Clarkii Clownfish + partially bleached Green bubble tip Anemone.

    1 Yellow Watchman Goby

    3 Blue damsels

    1 Klein's Butterflyfish

    1 Bluegreen Chromis

    Send me a Private message and and we'll arrange a collection/viewing time.

    I don't need to clear them as a whole lot.

    I'm more concerned with finding them a better home.

    You'd have to bring your own containers and bags though. Don't have any spares around.

  2. yeah it's essentially a time-bomb in our tanks.. Somehow no matter how hard people have tried to simulate their natural feeding behaviour, they seem to die in the end. Have not heard of any good news about sea apples.

    I do agree that they look awefully stunning though.

    One of them chose the shade of the Green Star Polyps as its home.

    I'll post more pictures when they make such an appearance again.

  4. I recently added 4 Pom Pom crabs into my Hermit Heaven Tank. They had been in hiding for the good part of 2 weeks when 2 days ago, they were scrambling about at the break of dawn. I dashed to my camera and snapped some shots.

    Enjoy and spread the Invertebrate Love.

    I guess it was feeling emotional and decided to bask in the morning sunlight. Did not realise how hairy they were.

    The Arrow Crab, also known as the Spider Crab, has extremely long legs. It is called the Arrow Crab because of the shape of the body and head. The size is variable, many reaching six inches, and some up to 10 inches. Females may be dramatically smaller. Different species inhabit different parts of the world. The most common Arrow Crab (Stenorhynchus seticornis) comes from the Caribbean, but other species are imported from the Indo-Pacific region, eastern Africa, and California. They normally inhabit portions of the reef usually associated with a small cave or crevice.

    It is a hardy, long-lived invertebrate, that can be housed in the reef aquarium. This crab has been known to attack crustaceans such as Banded Coral Shrimp, and may even attack small slow moving fish. All crabs are opportunistic feeders and if insufficient food is present they may pick at mushrooms or polyps searching for food. Breeding Arrow Crabs in the aquarium is not generally successful. Larvae are free-swimming and hatch in about two weeks. It will accept almost all meaty, flake and tablet foods.

    Picture of actual specimen.

    It's a little too big for my 2ft tank.

    Use the tiny Scarlet hermit as a size comparison.

    Has only one pincer claw, the other will grow back after a moult.

    Pm me for price.
