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.

Default Updated tank views

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.

Default Tank Webcam Operational!!!

OK world...here is the tank. If the hosting service for this webcam has a limit as to how many people can be simultaneously viewing...I suppose they will tell me about it!

Current operating hours 12:30PM - 10:30PM PST.

When you first connect, you'll need to load a Panasonic plugin for Internet Explorer. Go to the tab called "single". No need to login.

Man, watching that tank, I wish I could have done the same kind of tank depth. I went 30" depth on a 6' tank, now I wish I could have done 6'x6'. Thanks a lot for making a 280g look like a chump tank!
