I didn't.

Three mantis shrimp, whelks, decorator crabs and more gorilla crabs than I can count.
That was after hours of picking stuff off with my daughter.

Red tail spot cardinals... but yeah, might as well be.

 

[ingtar_shinowa]

lol I figured they had to be a cardinal. TIme to bust out some smooth sided glasses and shrimp for the crabs eh? At least you do not have a eunice worm. Worst hitchhiker ever.

It's part of a grand social experiment to see just how much it takes to convince my wife to let me put it in the house.

Playing with fire there I see...good luck, it would be great to have a tank like that, but I would take a happy wife any day over a tank upgrade.
