www.wetwebmedia.com Great sight for critter I.D. From looking at the pinchers it may very well be an emerald. White tips and flat used more for scraping. Black tipped and pointed are more predatory.

There's nothing like being a Reefer! www.upmmas.com
lol well I've definitely seen that little turd crab ripping chunks off of various mushrooms in the tank... as soon as I plumb my sump, he's going into it.
Thanks again for the info reefers.

I like where you are going with this! Its an emerald crab. Are you sure he wasnt eating some algae from around the corals?
"The beatings will continue until morale improves."
Ha yes iyachtuxivm, I've actually seen him ripping pieces from the edge of my shrooms! I saw him do it at least twice... He'll be fine in the sump. I'm sure he'll benefit from the macro algae and everything that will be in there too (once its plumbed that is... lol).
Things are looking great. I can't wait to see this new set-up running. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Brian!
Doesn't my light look familiar?? That thing is great... I love the Sunpod. Thanks again for the great deal. I am VERY SAD to say, however, that the hairy mushrooms you gave me long ago were NUKED, along with 99% of the rest of my tank when I left my mom in charge of it for 6 weeks while I was in California. Ugh. She topped off with saltwater and didn't touch the RODI water the whole time I was gone... and she still said things looked "fine" until I returned home and had a coronary... Things definitely weren't fine. Lessons learned I suppose!
Thanks again!
My reef thread has been updated!
Thanks for reading!
