new crab! an emerald!
I know some people have problems with them, but I'm losing the battle with bubble algae so I thought I'd give it a shot, I only got one.
(and on a side note, gol' darn it when will this freezing wear off? The left side of my mouth is still froze and it's so hard to eat!).

hmm, I don't have starburst polyps that I'm aware of, but then I'm not sure what they are either. This goofy thing is pulling hair algae apart and eating it!!! Or some kind of stringy algae anyways... gooooood crabby! here's a macro of his fuzzy legs and one shiny elbow.
(another side note, a warm shower hitting my face and suddenly the numbness is almost gone! woot! but now my teeth are sore, can't win today).

congrats flo. alot of people arent fond of crabs, but i love em. if they take some one out, its natural and interesting to me,(as long as it isnt a 90 dollar fish) all part of the fun in my eyes

I can't find that little bugger today, he's hiding! 
editing to say "ah-HAH!" found him! That and I think he's snipping off xenia heads! There are about a half dozen stalks with no pulsing heads, hmm...
