Hummm... only 4 hours.. not bad! I removed all rock and dipped each one in fresh water (I was careful not to touch the corals in MOST cases). Then I reaquascaped and cleaned up my BIG mess LOL . I was sorry to see so many pods and miniature serpent stars die but I did get 2 PISTOL shrimps approx 3/4" long!! I knew I had gotten one when it started clicking REALLY loud in the fw tub! It's amazing how such a tiny thing can make a loud noise. I was extremely sad to see that one was bearing eggs
but I was equally happy that they were NOT mantis shrimp :bigbounce . All went very smothly and I don't think the corals/fish/anemones are too upset. I think I like the aquascaping
but I will probably make a few adjustments once my fingers recover
.
For those of you that voted for "pistol shrimp", good job!!
Here is a pic of the 2 pistols....
