What crab is that?! Its awesome!!
It's a Porcellanidae sp. They are actually more closely related to lobsters than they are to crabs. I have about 15 of them or so in my system, but they can be cryptic so I dont see them too often.

I know its a porcelain crab. I just didn't know they came in such colors! The ones I've seen are, well, porcelain colored

I had a Black Porcelain at one point but I didn't survive since my stupid Anemones wouldn't host it.

Chiming in a bit late here and plan on doing some catch up, but I just wanted to wish you all a slightly belated Happy New Year. I hope you’re all doing well, your tanks are clean, and your corals thriving ❤️
Same, bud. Sorry to hear about the health issues. Let us know if there's anything we can do to support you.

Good morning, Heathens and happy Friday to 'ya!

The bulk of yesterday was spent de-Christmafying the house. The gnomes hath been banished to the basement for another year. I still have more to do, but that will have to wait until later.

The new bulbs finally arrived yesterday, so I just swapped them out. We replaced 2 KZ super Blue, 1 Fiji Purple, and 1 ATI true actinic with 4 ATI Blue+. I'll have to see how the spectrum affects things and may need to adjust the K7's.

I also rearranged the reef room. Pardon the mess- it's still a work in progress:

The fish shipped from Michael's yesterday, so they should be arriving shortly. I'm surprised the shipment wasn't delayed due to the freezing temps. Let's hope everything arrives healthy.

Zebrasoma xanthurum (Purple Tang) and Halichoeres cosmetus (Adorned Wrasse).

More pics and maybe a video or two to follow later on today. Be sure to have a good day on purpose and finish your weeks like the rockstar heathens you are!

Namaste for now
