    Nice set up and congrats on finding the peacock. Give him some shells and pieces of rubble they like to build stuff too.

    Thanks! Actually had a bunch in there ready for him before I added him, he's pretty much used all that up already so I grabbed a few more pieces from my sump for him and he integrated those in to his burrow almost immediately.

    Here are some updated pics with my new macro algaes added to the tank today. Tank looks a little dingy right now due to the diatom bloom that is in progress.

    Thanks, he seems to be having a blast smashing crabs all day ;D I think he may have got the last of his home warming batch cleared out today.

    Thats a really nice looking mangrove planter you have there. Those look like small Propagules though where did you get them? The ones I get locally are around 12" long.

    Ahh soon he will eat you out of house and home. haha
