Picked up an odd little shrimp today called a Helio shrimp (Periclimenes koroensis). When I got home I noticed she's carrying an abdomen full of eggs, too bad I'm not set up to try and raise them.

Here's the odd new shrimp. She's difficult to see because she's completely transparent except for her red & white head.

Cornucopia of critters

In this shot there's a Porcelain crab, Helio shrimp, Pederson shrimp & 2 Sexy shrimp.

Pederson Shrimp & Anemone crab.

Sexy Shrimp and the small Rock anemone.

I think I need to track down a few shrimps, I don't see my crabs often enough

+1 on your tank looking awesome (and so clean!).

I love all the little shrimps you can get. The sad thing is I've had two other kinds of anemone shrimps in my tank that just never lasted

I really miss having them, they were really neat. One would sway side to side and one would clap it's hands

I've sort of been looking for Bumblebee shrimps (Gnathophyllum americanum). From what little I've read about them, they get to around 1.5 - 2 inches long, and aren't aggressive (reef safe too). I can't find that much information on them. They don't seem to be that common though I've seen them offered on a number of websites this year... My tank needs some variety and I love that pic of the different shrimps (and crab) together. Maybe a few shrimps and a pair of Pom Pom Crabs will add some much needed life to my reef.

Looking good anyhow, everyone seems to get along alright? I worry about adding something that will fight with my current livestock since everyone is getting along great these days (no aggression between my purple firefish and Hector's goby anymore).

StevieT's media rack arrived yesterday for the new cube

I have to say a huge thanks to lobsterboy for bringing some great frags to Edmonton. Here's what he brought me.
Green Polyp Birdsnest

Pink, Blue/Green Polyp Pocillipora

Blue Stag

Blue Coralite Purple Millepora

Purple Austrea

Crayola Tabletop Acropora

Hot Pink Millepora

I also got one of my unknown acro frags back that I traded bignose for. I lost the colony it came from and it was turning a nice deep purple before I lost it.

Then I stopped at Blue World Aquatics and picked up these cuties:
Whitespot Anemone Shrimp(with eggs)

The suspected crested weedfish like fishoholics

and a teeny tiny sexy shrimp but I didn't take a pic.
