   |  2 interesting critters....
First up, some sort of acrocrab. Found this little guy while fragging... 
If you have ever read about my "pod mounds" that I build for pod production, here is a pic of one of the pods Ive raised, over 1/2" in size.  _________ [center]Renaming Our Corals "Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it." Andre Gide |

Ive got them in all of my tanks that big. I really need to start getting stuff that eats them. I originally started the mounds in hopes of mandarin or two. Ive since done away with a display tank, but continued the pod production in case I ever do another display. Too much other stuff going on to set up a display that I WANT, right now anyways.. | |

They get that big when you dont have anything that eats them. My stock tank is fishless, my 50g has my black n white clown pair with a yellowtail damsel, my other tank has a scopas tang, yellowtail damsel and a banghaii cardinal. I need to find a another tang for the stock tank cause all the various hitchhiker macroalgae. | |
