Lynn and Frank's saltwater adventure. - Page 64

Oh I have plenty for them to do, but he wanted something that the kids would want to do. Playing with power tools worked nicely. And I got something I wanted. Of course they are only half done and it could stay that way for a while.

lcstorc · 02-10-2008, 10:52 PM

As long as I am here I have a few new pics to share.

Nice Idea Lynn and very helpfully if it once again becomes too warm., looking good BTW !

The Clams are spectacular

What a fantastic idea to include the kids! I really like the design. They did a great job

Beautiful photos Lynn! I see you got a citron goby

lcstorc · 02-11-2008, 09:46 AM

Thank you both. The credit for the doors has to go to the person who built the stand and Frank. If they hadn't done the first side I don't think we would have thought of it. Then Frank wanted it to be a project with the kids so that made it even cooler. They all know what they cut out so that makes it even more fun.

I've had the citron for a while. One of my very favorite fish. She spends most of her time perched on one of the clams. For some reason they don't seem to mind and don't even close. A hand over them, they close, the fish they don't. Very odd but cool to see.

Clams ARE smart, just ask Victor

LOL~

frans...I see ya lurking

lcstorc · 02-11-2008, 10:44 AM

LOL You caught him.
I think he is showing his work buddies what he did this weekend. He called and asked what thread I put the pictures on.
I finally got him on RS. I should put him to work more often.

lcstorc · 02-11-2008, 10:53 AM

I wanted to add this to the chronicle even though it was addressed in another thread.
We found this neat looking snail in the reef. It has been there for a while but I finally was able to take pics of him. He has been identified as a Murex snail and they are definitely not good guys. Very carnivorous and bores holes in snail shells to get to the meat. Here is a pic of my guys so you know what he looks like.

Woodstock · 02-11-2008, 11:19 AM

Pretty but as they say, "Pretty is as pretty does!"
How large is it?
It's been eating something...have you noticed any losses in snails, crabs or corals?
The murex snail I had in my reef was found sucking the life out of a xenia colony.

lcstorc · 02-11-2008, 11:26 AM

It's pretty small. Maybe a half inch from end to end. Very pretty but very spikey. When I picked it up it it had very sharp spikes. We have been watching him for a while move around the rocks but he is pretty hard to see there so we would lose him etc. I haven't noticed any destruction and the area we see him most really doesn't have any coral just corraline. Yesterday he was on the glass so I could finally get some decent pics and pull him out for even more. I do not want him anywhere near my clams so I will start looking for him tonight and hopefully fine him soon.
I am still debating about removing the black blob as well but I am divided on that one. It is soo cool but the time I saw it touching a kenya tree the tree was very unhappy until it moved on. Didn't seem to have a long term effect though. Just temporary.

tbittner · 02-11-2008, 07:50 PM

Very cool designs and cutouts, Lynn and family! Excellent job!

Everything in your tank looks great!

hmmmm, how about a new project for the family. Make a horror film, staring the Black Blob and the Killer Snail.

Craig Manoukian · 02-11-2008, 07:53 PM

Very nice, guys!

Dentoid · 02-11-2008, 08:03 PM

Nice work on the doors! Frank does more than just work on the space shuttle.

That clam is stunningly unique.
