    See, if I had a peacock mantis, we wouldn't have a crab in our fuge. He would have gone from reef tank to mantis tank faster than you could say "dinner time". :D However, when your crab is bigger than your mantis, I prefer not to risk it.

    Would not running your fuge lights reverse of main lights cause this?

    I don't see that as a valid reason. I run my lights the same and my chaeto and ulva are getting huge. Jason just has an extreme lack of nutrients in his tank. its like a drop of pee in the pacific ocean.

    So far so good! Seems really at ease in the tank already. Cruising the full length and is not bothered by my presence at all. Also seems to be really enjoying playing in the wave maker.

    That is a great looking fish! I picked up a Flame Hawk today. He also looks to be at ease like your new guy.
