Both crabs have algae hats now

This one also thinks it's a cowboy, riding the sea cucumber around.

I now have like 4 peppermint shrimp living in my sump. I cannot keep them in the display.

I may get bergs to try and knock out the aiptasia up there, concerned the ponies will try to eat them though :thinking-face:
Will have to research.
 
Sources say: will not deliberately eat them, may accidentally consume them if they're near where the food lands. Won't hurt the horses if they do consume them.
 
The 1st time I added bergias was a mess. 1st I tried to pet one and encourage him to do a good job, "hey little buddy".. and he's gone, smeared across the plastic container(never even felt the little thing). Then I tried "sprinkling" some into various places- the aiptaisia ate 4 or 5 more before deciding to let them crawl out the container on their own.. :face-with-rolling-eyes:

I used them in my pico tank successfully, haven't been able to put them in this tank until now because of the wrasse in the tank previously. Stripey kept aiptasia under control until he was moved to the peninsula, they've slowly begun making an appearance again.

I had an Aiptasia eat a Berghia once. Two days later I saw the Aiptasia look like a bomb went off inside it's tube and the Berghia was eating from the inside. Weirdest thing.

I suspect the same thing happened. They were definitely still moving while disappearing into the Aiptasia, and those were some of the 1st Aiptasias gone. I did wonder if the sting will be too much fully engulfed, considering how clownfish rub on their nem before diving right in..
 
I think they sneak up on the aiptasia then intentionally get pulled inside and eat them from the inside out... fewer stinging cells go-off that way.
 
Won everything except that first acro. Won this one instead:

Hopefully getting some color in here soon. The problem is waiting for everything to grow in such a big tank lol
 
You can see the clear of the sponge a little better here. But you can also see all the polyps out.
