Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

Blue leg hermit, good at picking up left over food, algae and snails... also likes to aggravate corals.
Not intentionally, at least that I’ve seen. But dragging a shell across my acans or GSP is really the opposite of cool!
 
This guy is huge and has a voracious appetite.

How do you manage to keep 10 happy and healthy?
Broadcast mysis once in a while and I make sure that pellets are hitting the sand bed twice a day

also most of them have stayed really small, only 2 have gotten larger even with numerous shell options.
 
Oh, y'all check this out... a year and a half ago. Yes its in the same spot. Its doubled in size.

Yes. I haven't seen them eat coral, just really tick them off climbing over top of them.
 
That may be... if the bottom skeleton looks like it it was cut with a saw, then it's a geoffroy. Radiata detach themselves when mature and naturally sit in the sand, or get blown away in the current. The bottom is concave, like a bowl, and the tissue wraps all the was around the sides to just under the bottom. The skeleton on radiata are also round, where geoffroy tend to be oval.
 
You'll have a 40b anyhow in 2 years.
40b is about the perfect budget tank... pick them up on the $/g sale, drill overflow, or HOB or canister... but the size is amazing. Opens up a ton of medium sized fish and the dimensions are perfect for scaping.
 
Finally came out from behind the trachys...

Shrimp spam! He is almost 3 years old(in my care) and has faught several power heads, a snowflake moray(lost claws on the power head and snowflake but they grow back), a golden dwarf moray and many fish. Royal pain in the wrasse, but he absolutely destroys aiptasia.

I'm glad you mentioned the skeleton. I'll have a positive ID soon enough. Lol
