What is your favorite mobile invert? I like my Harlequin shrimp the best right now, but not real familiar with many different types. Thinking of getting a few porcelain crabs but not a set deal.

me, too! :haha:

she wouldn't hold still, so parts are blurry. she's under a rock, so it was dark

Like was posted in an different thread, isn't it remarkable how they almost sense when you are about to drop a star in for them and how fast they find it?

lol

i actually just picked her up this weekend at the masm swap, from a local reefer (not sure if he's on this board or not)

i had her in a large bowl, with water dripping for acclimation. she was standing almost in the center of the bowl, and i swear she was looking at me! i picked out a small star off my tank wall, and she pushed it off my finger. couple seconds later, she was holding it, eating it. she's AWESOME

it's also cool how she is totally NOT afraid of me

Wish I could get a pic of Larry the purple reef lobster but he hides in the rocks all the time. Love that little guy.

No kidding. Can you grow enough stars in a fuge to feed two harlequins in a reef tank? What do Pom Pom crabs eat?
