Default Predators doing their job.

Since introducing Harlequin Shrimp couple of months ago, my asterina population has dropped to almost nothing. I used to pull 20/30 off glass every day or so. Now I rarely, if ever, see them.

Small nuisance snail that used to cover glass by the hundreds at night, have almost disappeared since arrival of sixline.

Rock that only a few days ago was thickly covered by little brown polyps (hydroids ?) - is now half bare. Added a dozen hermit crabs last week, and they seem to be mowing them down.

Thankfully (and hopefully) my "pest" plagues are getting under control with little additional effort from me.
