I'm up in the north of Scotland. I'm successfully keeping:
x2 Shore Crabs
x5 Sand Shrimp
x3 Beadlet Anemones
x2 Common Gobies
x6 Brown Shrimp
x5 Common Periwinkles
x1 Common Limpet
x1 China Limpet
all living and growing well with several duncan,zoa,button polyp,GSP and mushroom colonies as well as a Flame Angel, x2 Blue Damsels and a Green Chromis. Beadlet Nems have made a few babies which is pretty cool. The Shore Crab will eat Anemone pellets out of my hand and the little Common Goby comes swimming up to the glass when i tap on it. Found Limpets to be excellent CUC. Best collected after dark though as they'll be on the move and you can collect them without damaging them. (listen carefully and you can actually hear them moving)
I use NSW,temperature is at 24.5c and i acclimate for 3 hours.
Sites i use for ID'ing and rockpooling:
www.marlin.ac.uk
www.wildlifetrusts.org
www.tidetimes.org.uk
just wondered what you guys have that's local and how you caught it, acclimation times etc?
