Thanks Allen! I've got one pic for tonight.

Grumpy old Sherman hates when the neighbor kids play their loud music...

BigAl07 · 09-26-2007, 10:40 PM

Great pic. You DO have the top completely JUMP proof right? My firefish played FLYING Fish one night and got through a s lit between the hood and HOB filter that was less than 3/8" x 2"w. Was sad.

Have a GREAT evening!!

Yep, eggcrate all the way across the top. Sherman is an overflow surfer. He's made it in there three times now (twice because a former tankmate was trying to eat him... ). I'd hate to see what would have happened if I didn't have the eggcrate. Thanks for the heads-up!

Mark I've got one word for you... Gutter-Guard... well two words maybe

Use some to block off your over-flow. I buy it here by the roll because I keep finding more uses for it... Duct-tape and Gutter-Guard..... LOVE EM!!

He's quit going for a ride in the overflow since I took the antagonist out. I had a really mean brown bird wrasse for about a week. She took out most of the xanthid crabs, which was great, but then she headed for my smaller fish... The gutter guard sounds like a great idea, that would keep the snails out of there too!

I just ordered a third T5, couldn't resist the deal on it ($34 shipped with everything including the reflector!) With the individual reflectors on all of them, I don't have room for any more than that, but I think three will be just right.

Dinnertime for the hitchhiker cuke...

Dentoid · 09-27-2007, 09:45 PM

OMG, is that a Sea Apple or a Donkey Dung cuke? That is freakin' cool!

deaclauderdale · 09-27-2007, 09:49 PM

Awesome shots!

AQTCJAK · 09-27-2007, 09:50 PM

If that is a cuc that is cool if it is a sea apple if you start to see it get small remove it

Octoman · 09-27-2007, 10:20 PM

It was a hitchhiker in my TBS rock (grown somewhere near the Keys). From the info I could find, he's most likely not too toxic. I got two HH in the first part of the package, but one eviscerated after a week. This one seems to be doing fine. I target feed him some cyclopeeze and phyto when I see his feeders out.

Sorry about the reflection, he never moves, so its hard to get a good angle...

Dentoid · 09-27-2007, 10:27 PM

Now that I can see the whole body, it's is a Donkey Dung cuke! That feeding apparatus is wicked!

Octoman · 09-27-2007, 10:30 PM

Cool! Thanks for the ID!

goldenmean · 09-28-2007, 01:11 AM

I had one of those in my TBS KS in part 1 but he did not survive acclimation.
Mine never had the feeding apparatus out. Yours is so sweet!

Octoman · 09-28-2007, 09:47 PM

Thanks everybody, I've gotten pretty attached to the cuke!

These were donated to me today by a fellow reefer and schoolmate.

Go forth Nassarii, and feast upon hair algae!
