Let me know how the bait and spear method of gorilla crab hunting works for you.

Biking (pedel not motor) home from work today I stoped at a LFS and bought the first coral for the 55. Its not the first coarls in the tank as there are a lot of corals that came with the TBS package. I have also previously added a few zoanthid polyps that were roaming stray in the nano. I have also 3 smal blue mushrooms that were HH on a xenia rock that is in the nano. The xenia moved to the back of the tank and left one tiny mushroom. It a has grown and two other teeny tiny shrooms have popped up.

Any way about the new purchase!
This branching rock has Fire and Ice zoanthids going all the way around it covering the top third or so of the rock. There are a few other polyps further down the rock but they have yet to open.

Here are a few pics!

Note the flower anemome hanging upside down in the background and the Siderastrea just to the left. If you look close you can see the above mentioned blue mushrooms to the right and further back from the zoas.

In the second pic the Fower anemone was acting a little funny. I was worried that the pepperment shrimp had stayed to close. But after the anemone had opend back over normal there was a very hollowed out Gorilla crab shell. I fed him that crab two days ago. He must have be regurgitating the part that he could not digest.

Okay, okay, if you insist!
one more pic.

Still opening up. . .
