New Addition

I went to the LFS to replace my cleaner shrimp but they didn't have any. So I got this frag instead. It's a brown Acropora I think. It was only 15, but there is a small white spot on it. Should it be ok? It also came with a little white crab can you find it? Think it'll be ok with it?

sweet thats an acro crab .... ive read that you should leave him where he is if you try to move him he'll most likley die...hes harmless..not sure about the white spot though

[Joe Fish]

Not sure if it's new or not. I am starting to get it on my powerheads and glass.

The little crab is adorable! How big is the frag?

You might want to put the acro frag at the top of the tank so it will get the most light it can possibly get in your tank

looks sweet yea first thing i see was the crab in the middle of the pictures how big is the frag?

 

[Joe Fish]

The frag is a decent starting size maybe a couple inches high. I plan on moving the frag up in the tank. I just wanted to start out at the bottom.

LOL. I saw it. Good Luck with it. Im too afraid to try hard corals.....

 

[Joe Fish]

I figured for the price it would be a good one to start with. We'll see I guess. I'll see how I do with this one and see if'll get another. I would like one with more color.

Geek, try a montipora digitata.....I don't think you can kill it. I broke a couple of branches on mine while cleaning and stuck them in the rock until I could figure out what to do with them and now I have it everywhere. Almost as bad as xenia for spreading.......That and a piece acropora formosa....or balli slimer....these are easy starter sps.....

 

[Joe Fish]

Do the polyps stay that small? Or should they open up more? I might have to give one of those other ones you said a try.

Hmmm, Thanks for the ideas Lorna. I have T-5 lighting so I dont think that will be a problem. I just hear that SPS are 'harder'.
