    Mithrax crab?

    Ordered a small cuc from my local store. This guy was included as a mithrax/emerald crab. True or no? I've never seen one this big or this color. Kinda a tan and pink splotchy color. About 50cent piece size.

    Killer peppermint shrimp???

    Just looked over at my tank and noticed my frogspawn was 100% closed up. It never does that- not even at night.... so I walk over and see a peppermint shrimp just picking away at it!!!

    Frogspawn

    Got this frogspawn like 2 weeks ago. It was big in the store. It opens up in my tank, but not as big as it was in the store. Closes at night and reopens during the day. No skeleton showing. Tank water is tested at local reef store, so I don't know exact perimeters, but they told me all looks great!
