    WoW!

    I asked for more pictures and sure got em'

    The tank looks great and for Chinese LED's they bring the colors in the tank. I think I might need to look into the LED's?

    Thank you! So far I'm very happy with them! I'll continue to update growth and quality over time.

    Purchased this little guy to take care of about 15 3" bristle worms I got on some live rock.

    I've read both good and bad reviews on arrow crabs. It seems like most things with reef tanks that some have success with certain live stock and some don't. I personally do not want bristle worms in my tank so I'm taking a chance with him. Once his big enough to take out a fish or something I'll rehome him.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    I have had several Arrow Crabs, cool creature, but not in a Nano. They get too big too fast, they get so hungry they will go after corals with food in the polyp.

    Mine used to munch Bristleworms like candy.

    Enjoy him while he is small and manageable, they are interesting.

    Tank is looking good BTW.

    Thank you! I honestly feel like he has grown in the 1 week I've had him! Also he is in a 75 gallon not a nano? So far he is my favorite thing to watch in the tank.

    Love those acans!

    Personally, I'll take bristle worms over any crab. Bristles are great members of the CUC and the best way to keep their population in check is to minimize waste.
