weird... it didn't post my last post.

This guy was the size of my thumb. We did a 3 hour acclimation drip and added him to the tank. He died the very next morning..

I waited 2 more weeks then ordered another peacock mantis shrimp, who came in and looks more like a chiagra. He's been in the tank for 3 days now and is doing well. He ate my three astrea snails which I figured may happen. The damsel is fine and still in the tank. I also added a couple coral frags during the 2 weeks (a green star polyp frag and some zoas that are only one or two polyps right now).

Everything in the tank I know I could lose to him.

I will try to get a pic of Wicked Uncle Ernie when I can. He mostly watches me, patrols the tank in the evening, and knocks rubble and kicks dirt everywhere. Very industrious.
