Thought I should share but I had a new coral addition from yesterday. I am really not sure its name because I got it on a deal from a LFS that is closing (they have a different location but they are closing one of the two locations & were discounting the live stock instead of moving it, it was kinda a drive too lol). I assume it’s some type of frogspawn or octospawn or something like that. It kind of reminds me of a tiger torch with the orange hue in the middle. It sure had a lot of hitchhikers from its dip. If anyone knows what type it is let me know lol.

Looks Ike one strand from a older hammer

Nah, it's a pistol shrimp for sure, that's why one claw is bigger and shaped like that.

It looks like a frogspawn or Frammer. You're right though, the coloration is really unique! I know this isn't the typical question, but do you have any pics of it under blue light?

Guess I was late ! What’s a frammer ?

It's basically a hybrid between a frogspawn and a hammer.

I haven't added anything to my tank from the Gulf, but my wife has a Gulf thinstripe hermit crab tank. They get pretty big and live for a while. I used to use them for bait. (Dont tell her)

I've caught these in a minnow trap, that they call gulf snapping shrimp. It just looks like a pistol shrimp to me.

And I've also caught these little mystery gobies described in this old thread.

FL Gulf Coast Mystery Gobies

Wondering if anyone has ever seen these in the industry before. It is hard to tell in pics, but they are beautifully colored with blue and yellow fin edges. They live in burrows, and have adapted well to tank life.

My tanks an acrylic with a thick Eurobrace (top plate) so hanging stuff is difficult but I really like the idea. I kind of wish I had gone with XF330s instead of the XF350s as I think I would have had more flexibility with the 330s but I was underwhelmed by the MJ-GF2K.

ok so my top is 3/4... ok I need you to image a square C...this would be a little thicker then your top brace and slide onto the tank brace then a acrylic part comes down to hold the gyre....
