White stuff!
 

That is some nice white stuff, what is it, and where can i get some?

i acctually got it off ebay, just look up bleached white coral, and some will show up, it was a giant piece that i smashed, cant wait to get the mantis in here hes gunna love it

Interesting concept I'll tag along... it could be like a gladiator ring at some point in the future...:lol: someone has some fish or hitchhiker they are going to flush and instead you add it to your tank... video the battles for me wont you :D

ive been trying to get good photos of the crabs but my camera just isnt focusing, its getting clear shots of everything but the crabs lol, but oh well, ill keep trying heres a few, i gave them some scallops......turns out these guys are real vicious....the one ripped the others arm off and took it and the scallop lol

I can't really see anything... maybe try to take a larger image then crop it... stand back a little... or if your camera lets you manual focus you should try that.

these are a lill better green, ill bait them out tomoro and get some good ones, this is the bigger guy, he has all his arms and legs lol

Found a mantis!!!!!
 

i made a call today to red coral on a whim, and asked if by chance they found any mantis shrimp hh, turns out they had one, a black one with reddish tail, i jumped on it when i got him home and under proper lighting i realised how gorgeous he really is, i think hes a smithii (if anyone can tell me positive ID great)
