    Thank you. There's also a brittle star, but he found a nook on the backside of the rocks. Don't think he comes out for anything.

    love em bill! One of my emeralds would come out and pinch my hand till i fed him! Then he'd hold on while i cleaned the tank! Was funny until he got big and then it hurt! But my CBS got mad and whacked him! Enjoy your new critters! Fun stuff! just keep an eye on that CBS, they get testy!;)

    IMOPE, any crustacean has the potential to become opportunistic. You just need to weigh the options and take necessary precautions. :)

    Thank you, Vinny! Looking at it now, you'd never believe how bad it was before adding the CuC. They really done a great job, not only with the algae, but also the mess that was creating it. Now I have to feed a lot more so they don't starve on me. lol

    Thanks for the tip, too... I'll have to try that. :)
