Awesome build dude. Really like the idea of having some of the rock work exposed above the water line with the mangroves. Any idea what kind of crabs would hang out up there?

Thanks! I've read that sally lightfoot crabs would go up there, but I've also ready they aren't entirely reef safe and can cause trouble so I'm not sure if I want to do them or not. I got 6 mangroves in the mail last week (poorly shipped however) and am hoping they recover and start to turn around. I've picked up a lot of new coral and have some rock work I plan on rearranging a little bit so I'll have to take some updated pics this upcoming week, thanks for the feedback!

Really digging your project. Let us know how the mangrove rehab works.

They're 2x4s with a 90 degree metal piece usually used for holding shelves up, attached to the stand with screws. I'll take some pics when I get my rock in that are more close up of how they're put together.

Thanks, so far atleast 3 of the mangroves are looking promising, I'll definitely keep that updated, rocks just shipped today, hopefully they're here by the end of the week.
