Will do as soon as I get home, I also have to show you guys my moon lights I took some LED Christmas lights, zip tied to a wire shelf.

Sounds like a cool little DIY for the moonlights.

Here are a few pictures from my new frags thanks Aquawolf, My Horseshoe crab, sally litefoot crab, and of my moon light budget build (still not finished yet).

Where did you get the Horseshoe crab? I've been kinda wanting one, I'm unsure if the small amount of my sandbed that's visible will be enough for it though.

I did kinda something similar for my moonlights, Blue rope lighting. It's not quite as bright as yours appears to be, but they work

Things are looking good Cory. The DIY moonlights were a cool idea as well.

Petco. Yeah mine likes to swim and never bothers any of my corals, Plus it keeps the sand bed nice and fresh, My Sand bed is only about a 1" to 2" deep and it does fine, It takes them a long time to grow.

Just a few new pictures I took tonight of the few new additions. I got a green brittle star, A new Clown, A new Clown Goby, A royal Gramma, A cleaner shrimp, A peppermint shrimp, and a feather duster.

Cool additions, but I don't trust those green serpent stars in a reef. Particularly when they get large.

He doesn't mess with anything I have seen him wrap up on the crab before but never bothers anything.

Is there something in particular that they like to eat? Coral wise?

aquawolf · 01-09-2009, 10:07 AM

Nice additions Cory. They are carnivores and like to eat meat, so your corals will be fine. Most of the times they are okay, but some people say they may hunt down sleeping fish for a meal.

I spot fee all my inverts because if I didn't they would steal from my nems and that's just not nice. So he is well fed but I will keep an eye on em'.
