Thanks for the info Oxy, did not know that about the shrimp! Gonna try to take it easy and not rush into anything, so for now im happy with the one i have (most likely getting another one in the future)
As it is summertime and vacation, i've been a bit absent, will be more active in the end of august
Tiny update on the tank:
*Cleaner shrimp molted and has awesome color now!
*My hermit molted also!
First i was freaked out cos i couldnt find him for days and thought that yep, another one dead.. and felt so bad that maybe i had done something wrong! Some days later i see pieces of him around the tank, made me even more sad! As i was wondering what the reason was, i was also unable to spot my goby - even more SAD - panic!
So i was sitting and trying to see into every hole and cave to find him - with a flashlight! And then i saw something crabbish, whiteish or transparent move in one of the holes of the rock, and first thing that i could think of was that i got a hitchhiker evil crab with the LR that came with the coral and that he is the ROOT of all evil who ate my hermit a chopped my goby into pieces!!
So then finally my goby shows himself, by accident i guess, but still im happy that he is alive!
Some days pass, yesterday i told my other half to turn the lights off on the tank, and he comes running back and saying omg Crabby McCrab is ALIVE!(yes thats what we actually for some reason call him) i guess it was him that i saw in that hole, all naked?
I didnt know hermits molt is so "nice" that he could pull off faking his own death!!
So im SUPER happy, everyone is alive and well!
But do feel a bit silly that molting didnt even cross my mind
I have been battling a bit with algae and also cyano started popping up, reduced the light and everything is getting a lot better a lot faster! Will take a pic before i will leave for a tiny vacation on sunday, then the tank will be extra clean and newcomers that are arriving tomorrow will be in place
