Caught in the act...


Caught my coral banded shrimp molting. Missed most of it cause I went to get my camera, but I got a few pictures. I thought it was cool so I figured I would share with the rest of you.

Yes that damsel is small. About the size of a dime. Keeps gettings stuck in the overflow. No he isn't still in a bag. Must be the angle of the camera, plus the dirty glass, plus the fact I was shooting blindly around the corner of the tank. The pics did turn out much better than I figured they would.

I got very lucky catching the molting pics. Just happened to be going to bed and figured I would do tank roll call and saw that my shrimp looked really fuzzy. So naturally I got worried. But all is well.
