I received a box of rocks today.

Makes me wish I had a asterina star problem

Thanks everyone! He is awesome. He went right to the anemone immediately when added to the display and has stayed there. The crevice the anemone is in is deep and large and he has enjoyed it all for himself. In fact, I think a future Clownfish may tolerate his presence if he layed low under the anemone.

I will try to get more pictures, but today he has stayed deeper within the rock. Last night after lights out he was perched right at the top of the anemone with his filter feeding claws extended out into the flow.

His coloring is pretty similar to a Harlequin, @WallyB now that I think of it. They are beautiful creatures as well. I have only seen one asterina in the tank, but if they ever showed up in numbers I might consider renting one of those from the LFS.

I want a porcelain crab now! Darn you @NY_Caveman... Just when I thought I was done buying for a while too.

I miss my Harley's... , but they sure did wipe out the asterina outbreak that I had.
They never went after the other starfish that I had. They eat certain starfish, but not all species.

@NY_Caveman
Love your Porcelain crab... ;Woot ;Woot

how long did you have them? did you end up having to buy them star fish to feed them?

I had the pair for about 8 to 9 months. When they took care of the outbreak, I took them back to the Aquatic Critter and got $60 in store credit.
I did not want to freeze Chocolate Chips to spot feed the pair, but it was a tough decision.

When I saw them parachuting off my live rock, to ride the currents during lights on, I knew they were real hungry.

Someone else bought the pair before I left the reef shop.

Coolest shrimp that I ever had...

Say hello to my little friend

I must say, nothing in my tank so far has caused me to reminisce so much about my early reefing days. This Anemone Porcelain Crab is awesome. I forgot how much I really loved the little hitchhiker crab that came with my H. magnifica in the 1990s. This little fella has great colors and a super cool skull pattern. I feel like @cromag27 might really enjoy this one.

Super cool! I love just sitting and watching mine in the nem. He never leaves except to molt.

I’m wanting a couple more rose bubbles so I can get some anemone shrimp. They are pretty cool to.

And a couple mini maxi nems with sexy shrimp. I had those in my last tank and that was a special treat to watch.

My Mr Crabs

I would be crawling back into bed!

 

[Fudsey]

Mine loves to jump between the 2 splits. They are only about 2 inches apart so it's not far for him.

 

[Fudsey]

Got ya beat but I'm not going out in it...

DANG! I don’t miss it AT ALL!

[NY_Caveman]

Just looking at that makes me feel warmer. LOL. @Fudsey wins for low temperature, although I bet @WallyB is colder.

 

[Fudsey]

Probably @WallyB is

 

[Katrina71]

Wally B most likely has a geothermal hook up with a bubble over his house. He's probably got bromyliads blooming in the front yard.
