:D... You are right, they are very secretive and most likely nocturnal cuz in my tank I can only see it during the night. Have tried several times to stab it but its just to fast for me... sigh...

Use toilet can... 20c... :P

Guess I am the only lucky one. My 2inch plus crab climb up to the overflow chamber and fell into the overflow compartment :upsidedown::upsidedown:

Hi DA,

U are indeed the lucky one, the crab might thought he's gotten into a "Fantasy Land' when he's climbing over into the overflow chamber. But never did he realised its "dooms" day for him :pinch::P

Nowadays, I will check for those pests when Lights are completely off. Ususally higher chance to scout them and apprehend them :lol:

As for me, i think i really have some feelings for my clownfishes heh heh. They are the first resident... many come and go but they are the permanent resident. I love the way they swim and it seem very comical and always brighten up my days. i believe somehow clownfishes are also the icon for marine reefing hobbyists!

:thanks::thanks: Vincent for the compliments. Wrasses are so secretive and timid. They tends to hide when newly released into the tank. Got a few wrasses tat never even get to see them when released into the tank. Either they died of hunger or beaten to death by other fishes or eaten by crabs :sick: Well, at least, now got a few wrasses swimming in the top tank. I.M.O, more wrasses presence in the tank will increase the survival percentage of newly wrasse being introduced in the tank. :idea:

Nemos swims in a very unique way in the sense tat they sorta wriggle left right left right pattern. N Hammy, I agreed with u tat NEMOS definitely is an ICON for marine hobbyists :idea: Whenever adults, kids or old folks sees a marine tank, they will always asks/says, such bright orange fish or nemos in the cartoon movie??? :lol:

Hammy, u might wanna consider adding some wrasses in ur tank ? I recommended Reefzzz to add some and he felt its a good idea to do so... :heh::P
