Howdy everybody!

One thing I've been noticing recently in the hobby is the amount of wild things you see in your tank you want to tell someone about, and eve after your girlfriend/coworkers/family members have heard so much about the hobby and the cool things happening that hearing the word fish their eyes glaze over, you still want to share with someone (I'm not projecting, you're projecting!)

Basically I want to hear all your crazy stories! Browned out acro turned out to be a walt disney, bonded pair of clowns hosting a GI Joe figurine, crazy species interactions--anything you really want to share with someone!

Selfishly, I'll start! Earlier this week I found out I had a juvenile hitchhiker mantis shrimp. The very same night I noticed it, it rammed a claw off one of my emerald crabs which them proceeded to casually grab it with its claw and bash it to death against a rock while SIMULTANEOUSLY eating it from the other end.

So now I'd love to hear your wild reefkeeping stories!

I got a browned out acro colony (probably a solid 5 inches in size) for $80 that turned out to be an RR Wolverine, lost it when my tank crashed :(
