I noticed a nickel to quarter-sized crab wandering around and just ID'd it as a Xanthid Crab (not reefsafe according to Melev's Reef. So now I have to figure out how to fish the guy out. Probably need to entice him with food to get him out of the rock. It will definitely be tough with all the nooks and crannies. Sigh...I thought I was all set to get the tank going. Oh, well, it'll just make it more fun I guess. _________ Started this tank Nov. 2004: 90 gal w/ overflow box, 2 x 150W 10,000k MH, 2 x 30W Actinics, sump, Tunze skimmer, Teco chiller, Iwaki pump, DIY stockman overflow. 30lbs LR, 30lbs base rock, 30lbs live sand, 3 damsels, rose bubble tip anenome, flowerpot (goniopora), bunch of unidentified shrimp
