No 4 footers but some nasty one. I think I have got them all.
The red crab had about a 6 inch wingspan. Took about 6 months but I got all of those also.

I'd love to hear how things are going now... just over a year from the start.
I got all of the large pests out, I think. The mantis stalked my cleaner shrimp and a few small gobys, The large worms ate my mushrooms. the red crabs ate my zoas and what zoas were left my Blue Face angel, Baloo finished off in 2 days after I added him.

The tank is doing great. Fish are happy. It is a FOWLR tank I just couldn't resist some corals. I am figuring out what they will not eat. The coral that is in there now are frags from my RS 250 reef tank.

Very happy with KP and would do it again. Working on my camera skills and not there yet but here is a bunch of pic...

The Red Monti cap got to big for my Reefer 250. I managed to remove it in one piece and move it to the 900.

Mr. Magoo has been in the tank 2 weeks . Still hides alot and Baloo does not like him.

That red crab was the red cousin of an emerald crab. See the flat tips on the claws as opposed to points. Generally good help to have around but all crabs do carry some risk.

I'm pro bristleworm myself but can't fault anyone for trying to clear them out.

Tank looks great. I have zero regrets about going with gulf live rock. Adds so much diversity.
