Crab Hunting was good tonight!
I tried taking pics of two different Gorilla crabs that came out of their rocks to feed. Unfortunately I am still learning how to take pics in this tank with the MH lights. It is very different from taking pics in the nano with the 50/50 pc.
The 20 pics I took of the 2 crabs are all too blurry or washed out in light to post.

I could not shoot the crab I had been hunting the last 2 days with my camera.
I was sucessful with my spear.

This evening's test results
Remaing stable
Ammonia Elos - 0 FasTest - 0
Nitrite 0.5
Nitrate 5

I stopped at my LFS and got 6 mexican red leg hermits and 6 astrea snails as my preliminary clean up crew.

Cool Discovery of the Day:
The Hermit Pigs from the nano have cleaned the green hair algae from the barnacle's rock. They are still alive and feeding. I know they dont usually survive long in an aquarium. They really are cool! I don't think my camera is capable of taking a picture of them feeding.

Last week I mentioned the brittle star that i have seen after lights out but last night I was able to get some pics. With flash.
