    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    That is soooo cool zoanthids21,

    I am a little jealous, I have never kept one at home. They seem so intelligent.

    The tank and prep looks really good, nice job and congrats.

    oh no! yeah the g.viridis and the p. ciliata look very similar. just make sure next time you check out the body parts to see if he has the smashing appendage :) it'll be easy to find! awesome tank, btw! we've got a bunch of mantis shrimp (a whole variety) at my store and they are really so fun to watch. (although I'm super scared to stick my hand in there or even use a net to grab them :-[)
