He/she looks just like one I have that arrived in my reef tank, as a hitch hiker..I have a red sea 250 reefer with mainly soft corals and fish....when I first discovered mine, everyone suggested to find it another home...but I couldn't...so far, there has been nonissues with the one I have...she comes out right after the lights come on in the morning for about 10 minutes, then goes back to the rocks...I see her during the day pokong her head out and cleaning out holes in the rocks...During feeding times, if she is sticking her head out, I will hand her a big piece of food and takes it, without ussues, from my fingers..

Well well well.... look who came out to play today
Little dude has changed color and after seeing him annihilate some mysis shrimp, I can say he is about double his old size!
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The other parts of the tank are coming along nicely, if you look at the old pics you can see how much the plants have grown
Acan's not looking too bad either
My Yasha, which was supposed to be the most fragile fish in the tank, still hasn't been phased by the mantis
And Lastly before and after FTS
(before)
(now) The blues really wash it out but you get the idea

I decided to make some aquascaping changes after breaking down a smaller nano 10g project I decided to pull the plug on. I'm sure all 2 of the people following that thread will be devastated...
I tried to create some features the fish and mantis would find interesting to create high traffic areas
Really wish I had a better quality camera
*There is a mantis in this photo
Rastas still so small, hang in there little buddy

Then it will hurt, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it though. They're pretty intelligent creatures and I hand feed him all the time

New additions!!!
So had my little giant you pump fail some time in the middle of the night [emoji20]
Luckily I got a cheapo at Petco and as soon as I pulled into the parking lot after returning from the store.... My liveaquaria box was on the steps!
Check out this ghetto fix I had to implement
Everything is working and the critters are happy
