|  My new fish + inverts ...finally
I havent got pics yet, but today I added a harlequin shrimp (and CC star), 2 randall's gobies, 3 blueleg hermits, 3 margarita snails.
I got the LFS ordering 3 sexy shrimp and looking for a pair of pistol shrimp. Anybody know of an online site that sells pairs? _________ 14g Oceanic Cube

I'm not sure you want to put pistols in with your harlequins as the harlequins might become a very expensive meal for the pistols. Just food for thought. | |

You think so? I wasnt planning on getting the tiger pistols. I'd heard the "randall's" or candy cane/stripe are more laid back and near blind 
Seeing as how you have a harlequin in your sig, I think I'll trust your word though  | |

Well, pistol shrimp eat other shrimp in the wild so you really shouldn't mix them, especially in a smallish tank like yours. The fact that they're blind doesn't mean that they can't hunt. Adapt and survive  | |

Yeah, they were a special order and not too common around anywhere.
Also added!! 10-11 frags from DLC. 6 Sexy Shrimp. 1 Sand Sifting Star.
Amcarrig, do/does your harlequin(s) eat sand sifters? Its hard to find Linckias around here... | |

These shrimp will only eat starfish. I've heard of them eating asterina stars but never saw mine do it. I fed mine chocolate chip starfish. They're cheaper than linkias and easier to find. | |

Harlequin shrimp and wounded star  
Wall hammer 
Randall's goby - very shy...and a quick little SOB
I'll have to add more pics (and steal my g/fs camera) to get shots of the sexy shrimp and the new coral i have
- stupid question time again...what exactly are "micros" as in micromussa. And how do they differ from acans?
