I need a Harlequin Shrimp

mkenochm · Nov 12, 2009

Does anyone have a harlequin shrimp they would want to sell me. None of the LFS have one right now and I hate to mail order and pay shipping on just a shrimp. I have little star fish that started appearing out of nowhere a few months ago and I was excited about it. First it was one or two and now I have a hundred of them in my tank. The bad news is, as some of you may already know, they eat zoas. I've watched as they have eaten several of my 2-3 polyp frags. If anyone has one they would like to sell me let me know ASAP Please.
Thanks

We're getting some in on Wednesday.

Those guys are voracious though! They went through all the Asterinas in Randy's 120g in 6 months! Let me know when yours is finished with your stars. I need one to clean up mine but I don't want it long term.

Thanks Mel. I actually called after you posted in the RC thread and ordered one. I'll see ya wednesday if you're working.

I got my shrimp today. He is sooo cute. Here's hoping he gets rid of my star fish population :wink:

They will decimate a starfish population in no time...

Yeah. I was hoping that we could just have one or two in the club and then pass them around.

Shrimp are very sensitive to acclimation, so it might be hard to keep a "club" shrimp...

We can have a club pistol shrimp if there is interest. I am thinking on gong after him as soon as I get back.

And I am still laughing at Mel's signature.

Just catch the darn thing.....

And I'm laughing at you Paul...

Are you laughing because I am too busy to possibly catch up with you?

I wouldn't mind sharing but he is in my 180 gallon reef. I have a few jundered pounds of rock in there and already go a couple days at a time without seeing him, so I don't think it would be possible to get him out of there. Sorry

GPhiAce · Nov 29, 2009

I hate you Randy. He is coming out of my tank this week. I just don't want to take out all that rock. Think I am going to be alot more selective of my inhabitant selection from here on out. Like no more shrimp.

JoAnn, you are funny. No one is too busy to not do reef related procrastination. No one.

I think the CR has Harlequin shrimp in. Might wanna stop by or call to check.

EvilMel · Nov 29, 2009

Why are you calling me JoAnn? I'm not that crafty.

Mojo Jojo!!!!!!!!

EvilMel · Dec 1, 2009

Now that's just weird.

ct_vol · Dec 2, 2009

Never seen the Power Puff Girls???

GPhiAce · Dec 2, 2009

Mel, you look like a JoAnn and not a Mel.

Loving mojo jojo, but not getting what he is posted for. And unfortunately I did recognize him as soon as I saw him. Randy, how did I know that you watched powerpuff girls?
