Upgrading my tank by 1200%

[Sean1986]

Hey Just a heads up and I could be totally wrong. That picture you posted of the snails. The one closest to your fingers on the last pic may look like one I have seen in a fellow reefers tank. It was a snail / hermit killing machine. What it will do is climb onto the shell and literally drill into the shell and eat/suck out what ever crustacean its on. I cant remember what the snails are called and I could be wrong its been many years since i have seen one. But if you start seeing dead snails or hermits with a hole somewhere on the shell that is your guy.

"Edit" The last pic closet to fingers, With the Spine like pointers going down the one side.

It's in my sump currently, if no one locally wants it I'm going to see if I can train it to do tricks for food

I cannot believe you got it! ;WideyedNice work. Did he just grab the snack and hold on while you pulled him out? Will you come catch my pistol shrimp??

Actually it was the shrimp grabbing the sinker as when it grabbed the bait it just tore away. And the jib needs to be placed inside the net with the powerheads turned off.

And why catch the pistol shrimp, those guys are cool, but noisy. Just get it a goby friend
