    Well I just wanted to talk..lol. I love the harlequin shrimps and the anemone crabs. You don't see them alot in our stores here but would just love one of these guys. I guess I am looking for a reef safe interesting creature to add to my tank. Any suggestions...no mantis.

    Well, the harlequin requires regular feedings of live starfish so you might not want that. The anemone crab will require an anemone or similar invert to hang out in so if you don't have any of those, that's out too. How about a pom pom crab? They're somewhat reclusive but very cool nonetheless.

    They are beautiful, though I am not keen on the idea of feeding them live stars! If they were dead...it would be a different story!
