    Hubby got this text:

    "Mission accomplished. Target neutralized." LMAO. It made me chuckle to think of what his face looked like getting that.

    I had to net him. Once he got tired it was easier, LOL. He is still eating well and not too stressed. Dropped him off at the LFS because I had to head back to the office. Will be picking up the watchman and shrimp on the way home as I can't just have them sitting on my desk until 1700h!

    glad you didn't have too much trouble catching the tang sometimes getting them out can be pretty stressful, hope your new additions get happily settled in!

    YWG and pistol shrimp are home :D They've been acclimated and are now in the tank. The YWG seems pretty mellow and I was surprised the PS is chilling in the rocks and not burrowing somewhere, LOL.

    They aren't together yet but hopefully they find each other soon. Hopefully they don't make their tunnel behind the rockwork. That would suck :(

    I'm a bit concerned (in the back of my mind) that they won't pair up. I got a plain old pistol shrimp so we'll see....


    Very nice pics in that thread BTW!!
