    I have 5 of the strombus snails in my fuge, they're doing fine. They mostly eat film algae, though I've seen them munch on crab pellets before, and the other day one was eating a dead amphipod LOL. I've offered them pieces of algae sheets & algae tablets before & they ignore them. They're really hard to find, though. The ones I had years ago I got from IPSF.com.

    Oh, there's also a yellow coral banded shrimp that stays the same size as the blue one. Liveaquaria.com offers both of them.

    I enjoy watching my emerald crab, I have him trained. When I put flakes in the tank he gets up on his rock and waits and then uses his claws to grab at flakes falling down and eats them, its pretty entertaing to watch =]

    I have a new 10 gal invert tank with a red leg hermit and a pom pom crab, the pom pom crab is beautiful and very cool looking with the nem's but it hides all the time, I also have micro brittle starfish and will add more to the tank, multiple inverts in an invert tank looks the best, variety is the spice of life right!
