Biocube 8 Ideas?

Hey reefers, Jesus here (lawls)

So i have this biocube 8 running in my room. it has been a reef tank, then i turned it into my mantis tank, then i turned it about a month ago into a species tank (pearly jawfish). i had problems with my pearly not eating and acting what i thought was unusual but he was my first jawfish so i guess he was being normal. i found him about 4 times hiding in the back chambers and had to pull him out all the time, however i found him lying on top of my filter floss last night, lifeless. Sooooooo now i need something to put in this thing! i did the mantis shrimp thing, they are totally awesome but i dont want to ship one through this weather, and idk.. they are messy haha.

my idea was to setup a cool species tank, like a jawfish,harlequin shrimp, or angler (which my LFS has one right now,he is all black and would match my tank {black sand and obviously black wall on biocube lol}) or anything that could be in a small tank. i have a pistol shrimp/goby pair in my 55 so i dont really want to do another one of those. has anyone heard of the emperor shrimp/medusa worm symbiosis thing? there is also a beautiful 1 1/2 inch reef lobster at the LFS as well.

Hit me with some ideas guys! and yes i know im really limited based it being only 8 gallons. (which is actually closer to 5 with 8#LR and a 3 1/2 inch sand bed.




more pics when dust settles.

 

Anyone?? (bumb lol)

 

I vote for a pair of harlequin shrimp

 

harelquin, angler is too big, i have an 8 but im not doing species tank. is the 55 a reef? do you have a sump? you could put a couple of choco stars in the sump, cutting off a leg or arm when you need to feed.

 

are they tough? i know that they eat starfish suckers. does that mean i will have to slave over 5$ starfish meals? ive heard of people getting 5 or 6 chocolate chip or sandsifting star fish and throwing them into a refuguim. then they rotate cutting legs of the starfish so the shrimp will have constant supply of limbs (seeing how they can regenerate). ive done a little research but notta lot

 

lol i was probably typing that when u posted

 

yeah you get the idea, there not that hard to take care of minus the starfish part. go for it
