It's right claw seems to be very much fatter than the left one

Almost looks like some kind of pistol shrimp?

 

[Leedowlrods]

Why does my job get in the way of watching stuff!!

 

[Khij159753]

Yeah that claw us a pistol shrimp claw.

 

[Leedowlrods]

He sounds like a baddy, I don't know what to do as I'm going away for 7 day. I could take him out as he's in th hydrometer at the mo

 

[Khij159753]

He should be fine. Take him to an lfs you could get some credit. Or leave him in there, he might pair with a goby? Or just live his life. Be Carful, he will snap your hand and it will hurt bad.

 

[Leedowlrods]

Thanks for your knowledge, I googled my worries away too. I've only got two clowns and two cleaners in my nano. The rest is coral.

 

[Khij159753]

Yeah, he should be fine. Could throw a goby in there. Or take him in to an lfs, mine gave me 20$ for mine.

Upgrade required

 

[Khij159753]

What size tank you got?

 

[Leedowlrods]

It's a small 12 gallon

 

[Khij159753]

Oh okay. yeah looks like upgrade time haha

 

[Leedowlrods]

Pistol shrimp is still inside the hydrometer, he's been joined by a huge copepod and and an asterina star. I might get him out of there today

poor lil guy jailed in hydrometer

 

[Leedowlrods]

The little guy has stayed above the exit hole in the bottom of the hydro, that's why I haven't moved him yet.
Yesterday I got a refractometer so the hydro has to go ?

I have to say, your tank looks great!! It looks bigger than a 12 gallon lol. I was gonna guess 35g or so lol. Very nice rock work and great looking coral!

 

[Leedowlrods]

Yay, thanks, I wish I had the space for one like yours.!.!.!
I'm at my max now but managed a sea fan today hehe



Oh, and a small leather ?

 

[Beengirl]

So is the pistol shrimp still in the hydrometer?

 

[Leedowlrods]

I'm afraid so, he's too small to survive in the open, I'm feeding him tho.
