Wow, that is exactly the opposite of my tank. I have a seahare and it barely makes a dent in my GHA, while my urchin on the other hand goes to town.

I always look forwards to your tank updates!

The sea spider began to fly around the tank. It seemed to be doing this on purpose as it would deliberately let go of a particular perch....fly around...then fold it's legs and drop to another perch.

It did this continuously for about a week before disappearing. I haven't seen it in months and I assume it is gone.

The Live Rock supplier supports the observation that he sees the spiders on his dives in the spring, then they are gone. I may have witnessed the method by which they leave the area.

The coral it lived on has had some die back as it fought hair algae. It's still alive and I hope it will return to it's former glory someday.

Here's how things are looking today. It is difficult to get a good overall tank view.

Here are some shots of three interesting anemones that were hitchikers on the LR. Each is about 6" in diametre.



In this last shot you can see just a bit of my green carpet anemone, which is now about 18" diametre. It has grown remarkably since moving into the new tank. I think it gets a LOT more food than it used to.
