I like how they are forming a line to go through the mushroom, haha.
Lol, They definitely had a plan of attack. They hunt in packs now because I had to save one from a Cynarina once before.

Urchin looking bad to the bone, tiger conch waving hello and the largest emerald crab I’ve ever had.

How big was/is the emerald crab?

I love my conch too! However my love at the moment is "camo crab" i am hounstly unsure of the exact species. Its a hitchhikers from TBS i believe pitho crab?

He eats algea very bery slowly, sometimes i try to suck him up with a turky basker thinking its a clump of hair algea.

I believe the cameo crab is a type of sponge decorator crab.

How have you liked your conch?
 
It's hard to spend money on stuff that doesn't glow.
@danieyella did an experiment a few months ago with a UV flashlight and various members of her CuC. If memory serves, many of them did indeed glow.

Yup! Lots of them lit up under both 365 and 395

Yeah. Diana has been great. Quite active and loves roaming around and cleaning sand and glass. Climbs rocks here and there as well.

Actually got a second one (strawberry) but it dies within a few days. Not sure what happened there.

But Diana has been going strong and working hard.
