Nice pictures! Is that a trumpet coral in the second to last picture?
Actually it is Caulastrea furcata, or Candy Cane coral... very close to the Caulastrea curvata, or trumpet coral.

keep me informed with that brain, I hope it recovers nicely in your tank. Keep spot feeding it, and nurse it back as best you can.

Almost forgot. I bought a beautiful Porcelain crab today. I put it in right before lights out today, but he is already feeling right at home. I'll try to post pics first chance I get.

now this reminds of when Mike first met you, lol!!

Remember? Hey "Justin",

"No, it's Jesse" hehe :lol:

Anyway, we had a great time, thanks for having us over. Eddie (our rat terrier) loved being out to visit too! Today we are going to the dog park, so it will be his first visit. Should be a lot of fun

Sorry steVen! LOL.

Anyways, turns out that what I bought was an anemone crab and not a porcelain, so i'm going to try to exchange it.

I'll be glad to "explain" myself!

Anemone crab= Neopetrolisthes spp. (often called a porcelain crab but are commensals that live on anemones. Their fourth pair of thoracic legs are smaller than the others and are folded up over the hind of their body)

Porcelain crab= Petrolithes spp. (the one that I wanted which DOESN'T live on anemones.)

Neopetrolisthes spp. tends to starve due to lack of sufficient planktonic foods because it is strictly a filter-feeder. Petrolisthes spp. does well in a small tank environment. They tend not to starve because of the fact that they are filter-feeders AS WELL as scavengers.

Hope that helped to clarify the issue! :smartg :kiddin:

Live aquaria does list both species, so that's true.

the anenome porcelain crab and the regular porcelain crab.

Eddy: It is indeed that blue one we see from live aquaria that he's referring to. I haven't owned that kind before, I've only had the anenome porcelain crab...(which are pretty cool filter feeders...mine lived a long time)
