Thanks Ryan. Always wondered how that happened in all the threads we read with a similar problem. Like most of them, dont really think I have an answer. Going to diversify now. No more acro,s I said to myself. So what do I scarf at Mikes last night, two acro frags. :lol:

Guess more will have to wait until later. Photobucket really works well tonight....Not.

Purchased a couple of red mythrix to help fight bubble algae. Doing an excellent job I might add. Guess one was reaching into the Votech when I turned it up this morning. Oops. Guess the suction pulled him just enough to nip a claw. Awwwww. Great start to the day. He,s laying on a rock. Dont think he going to make it but will see.

Sorry to hear about your sps, hope the new set up is good to you now. BTW we need a FTS.

I hope your crab makes it.

Sorry to hear about your stuff Doug (great name btw)......once an sps junkie, always an sps junkie......and glutton for punishment:wink:.......hope it goes better for you this go-round man.....

FTS will be soon. I have more to load on PB, of the progression of the tank first, then a full tank shot. Last night just could not load or download from there.

Crab is DOA it appears. Just wondering if its a molt. I believe they molt also?? Looks nothing like my shrimp molts though.

Thanks Doug. {yea, my uncle whom I named after agrees}. This time it will be a mix however, as I already have several lps and some softy frags in there, along with the sps.

The saddest part is I have been finally having success with the sps. Never had a problem growing huge soft corals for the last 20yrs. but never much acro luck, although never tried much until recently. They were all frags from Mikes tank, from the mother colonies, {many of which I grew in another tank before giving them to Mike}.

And I have done so many transfers with never a problem before. My clowns have been moved so many times in the last 7 yrs. they just swim into the bucket when they see it. :lol:

Sure sure make me wait for the fts :pout: Don't give up on the crab just yet. A couple of weeks ago I did a big tank clean and had some rock out of the water for about 10 min.'s. Unfortunately at the time I did this I forgot I had an anemone crab in there and the next day I saw what I thought 100% for sure was a dead crab body. However a week later I look into the tank and there's my little crab alive and well. So it could very well just be a molt, and just so you know it really did look nothing like my shrimp molts and very much like an intact dead crab.
