wow! great tank(s)!!!

that brittlestar is friggin huge!!! any problems with it eating any unsuspecting inhabitants?

so far ive only found two small micro brittlestars. but ive been debating about whether to get a bigger one or not.

The green brittlestar is a carnivore and will prey on fish. The other varieties are scavengers and are reef safe.

Wow three clams ! I just started my max a week ago and i cant wait to add a nice clam.

Is the lighting sufficient for them?

The clams aren't in the RSM. They are in the 9 inch deep tank next to it with metal halide lighting (my tide pool refugium hooked in with the RSM). You can see it better a couple pictures back. I've been told you can keep a clam near the top in a RSM.

Congrats on teh new RSM. I've been really happy with mine so far.

One of my turbos likes coming right out of the water. Here it is from earlier today on the shore. I must not be feeding him enough. He is regularly out eating the algae above the water line.

Here is why clams are better kept in an open top tank. The top half of this picture is a clam viewed over the top of the glass. The bottom half is the same clam viewed through the glass. You can't see any of the greens when looking through glass. Florescent blues look dull purple through glass.

My snails always get above the water line. all types margs and turbos. the new set looks great. quite the sand bed in the one tank.
