Re: My new additions!

Thanks!
So the others are ok?

Why can't they just tell you what these things are about!
I don't inquire about corals for my health. Well get this star and have it munch on your corals and inverts.

Well get credit get something else and be done with it!

Re: My new additions!

What are the crabs capable of doing?
Should I take those back also?
At this point I just want to take back everything I got from them and just sell the credit to someone else!

I am an easy person to deal with if you tell me it won't work. I'll find something that does work and buy that. But I guess these places don't mind the bad business! (This is towards employee not anyone here kinda reads funny LOL)

Re: My new additions!

Dont feel bad. Many people love their hermits. Personally I dont like them because they kill my snails. I look at it like why have a mean little critter in your tank, when you can have a peacefull little critter that will do the same exact thing.

Re: My new additions!

I am just upset! I don't understand why LFS do this to people. I thought I found a place that was different. I guess it's just impossible! It is a major inconvenience for me to get to this place!

Now the good stuff! I put the snails in last night. They were sitting there for the longest time. All stuck to each other. I was like these guys are gonna be boring. Well I was wrong they are all over the place. I think my tank is cleaner already.

Kinda lucky right now the Star is on the glass. But the two crabs are right underneath him at the bottom. Probably waiting for him to fall off!!!
