Good, got an air stone you can throw in there to keep it nice and oxygenated? Unless you have a filter running then nvm.

On the live foods, is there anything else y'all think he would eat? Krill? Mysis? Clam? Rods food? I have reefbugs etc on order but with the quarantine it might be ten days. All I have on hand is frozen.

Luckily I have both I can put in there. I seem to have multiples of everything laying around LOL

Idk if they'll eat frozen but you can try, they're predators but if they're opportunistic enough they may scavenge a nice chunk of meat. Worth a shot.

Smasher is designed to go after hard shell pray though, so when you can switch, feed them that.

Final advice, watch loads of youtube videos on its behavior and care needs, so much info out there on them. I'm super jealous of you lol.

You would LOVE this live rock. Uncured rock from KP Aquatics. Bought a few test lbs previously and it was so perfect that now I'm replacing all my rock with theirs. GORGEOUS. Covered in coralline. So far I've found this guy of course, 3 rock urchins, snails of varying sizes, multiple crabs, a few white mini stars, and one huge brittle star probably 6 inches. At that's just the preliminary unwrapping and putting them in QT. I'm working from home so didn't have a chance to really examine them yet. But WOW this rock is just astonishingly beautiful. KP is hands down the best ever.

No no, not that small. They're the white brittle stars. About 2-3 inches. Like this one:

I have no other tank to put him in and I don't want to kill him. Is it a danger to my corals? I do have a huge mithrax crab (WAS a tiny one) that snacked on all my peppermint shrimp, so he might not last a day anyway

Mantis shrimp will eat your crab.
