    Thanks! I hope I know what to look for this time after the last ones didn't make it. Check out this little acro crab I found, he's tiny!

    I also got the watch target feeding for the first time tonight, the girlfriend held the flashlight while I fed them. The acan ate like a hog, it's crazy how much they puff out at night. Couldn't get a great pic

    good lookin out Alex! You're right, a quick google search of small hairy brown acro crab got me all the info I needed. Most say it is evil and will pick at the coral.

    Will do. Thanks again for pointing that out to me!
    The easiest way I can think of is pulling the frag out for a minute and trying to grab it with tweezers?


    On a side note - I think someone asked me to update them on the Red Sea Coral Pro Salt I got. Did a 10g WC yesterday and all checked out good. 440 Ca 1400 Mag and 9 dkh.

    easiest way is to dip it in CoralRX of something. harder way is tweezing.

    Good eye, finding the not so much beneficial crab.
