It’s safe to say that the global reef aquarium hobby is collectively elated to get their hands on fresh new cultured corals, including some of the exotic and exciting strains from Bali Aquarium.

Why don’t you just say what you have to say on the forum?

Wouldn’t typical dips remove these? I’ve had these come in on LR. Such a pain. But I’ve got some recent farmed Indo acros and milles got me worried now if they really are that common. I’ve dipped and seriously, I hate double dipping.

I had to break down a whole tank due to them. Losing 100% of fish and inverts gets old after awhile. And they’re so small.

I love my little acro crab! Stark white with blue eyes and a little black stripe over the eyes. Hardest working thing in my tank. He has some serious OCD though always keeping his house clean. He came with this little tree looking acro about a year ago and has been very beneficial (I guess) if not the coral would be dead by now. Here is his house but he is hiding I can’t ever seem to get a good picture of him. I bought this piece only because it had a crab. Very cool

He's not interested in furthering the hobby. He is interested in advertising dollars, that's it.
I'm glad he writes article for the hobby! They are always interesting, and I have learned a lot from them! Kudos to him!!!!
