I have a powder Blue tang that moves sand around a little bit. But he has never made his own mountain.LOL

nervous? no. We have one in our 90 reef and it does minimal damage. We see hills from time to time but usually all we here is a loud clicking sound to announce his presence.

They are great hitchikers, so you may have one....

I'm with the Pistol shrimp crew, I smooth out the hills and he has them back by morning. I would watch to and see if there are small pieces of coral or debris around any cave openings. Pistols like to decorate their burrows.

Good luck on the camp out! Tie a string to a small piece of shrimp ... put it in the valley ... tie that string to bell and your big toe. Keep the camera on your stomach and a red light in your mouth while you sleep. You can have a pillow too if you must

this sounds like he voice of experience talking...LMAO...

Sand storm?

I caught a 3 stripe damsel doing a tail flick to cause a dust cloud to eat from, but I don't think he has a favorite spot.

That was too funny! I hate to admit how much that cracked Me up! I can just see a GIANT Pistol Shrimp grabbing the "Bait" and off a foot goes into the tank, flash light almost swallowed and the bell ringing like crazy!

DaBird is kinda like Leon (the professional)

DaBird · 04-25-2007, 12:57 PM

Ok, I THINK it was my Lawnmower Blennie, I keep seeing him come and lay in that spot, but he's not digging, maybe after a few days of me putting the sand back he got the message (that's an unsettling thought)...OK 'Squatchy, this has been bugging me since you posted, who is Leon?...

It's a Canadian thing, we wouldn't understand!

Snelly40 · 04-25-2007, 01:16 PM

too bad its not a pistol, i love mine, great reef animals

DaBird · 04-25-2007, 01:19 PM

There's a lot of Canadian things I don't understand...Like, why do mountys use horses when there are perfectly good Yeti's that will piggy Back 'em...?
