So far neither. They tend to be very slow and deliberate and have yet to knock anything over. Now the lawnmower blenny keeps knocking some of my frags over that I'm trying to get grow on my rock when something spooks him.

My hair algea problem was getting to the point of absurdity. My overflow teeth get clogged almost weekly now causing water overflow problems and I’m having to unscrew it and rake the hair out of it. So far I’ve added a lawnmower blenny, a handful of Mexican turbos, 20 more blue hermits, an emerald c...

I hope they got that thing declawed. A pissed off 24lb cat would be like sticking your hand in a blender.

Wow, nice info. Using those pictures, if I were to guess from the pictures on those sites I'd call it a type of feather duster. I'm working on a camera of sorts for a photo album detailing my progress. With luck I'll get a picture or 2 up here soon. They say they sell those things in pet stores and ...

My first hitchhiker

The 30 gal I picked up from SaltnLime is up and running thanks to Amy and Snoop's help this past weekend. I picked up a chunk of rock and a few crabs today and this evening I found a new guest in the tank. I'm not really sure what it is, and I'd like some help ID'ing it or suggestions on what to do ...
